W h 


I hat a difference a year makes! This 
issue of Game Players is more than 
twice as big as last year’s — and more 
packed with features, reviews, and tips 
than ever before. So forgive us if we pat 
ourselves on the back for the 
toughest job we’ve 
ever loved. 



filings have 



really 

. taken off since we 
combined our 
Nintendo and Sega 
magazines with the June 
issue, even more than we 
, >' hoped for — and we had 
pretty high expectations. But 
we knew our ideas were right 
■ for both the video-game 
industry and our readers, and 
everybody's support has proved 
us right. 

Of course, we’re not the 
only company that’s had a , 

turnaround in 12 short 
months. Take a look at 
Sega, folks! Last 
year, the 

shelves 
were empty 
of quality 
Genesis titles, and 
the Sega CD was off to a 
fairly rocky Start (accessing... access- 
ing...). The only bright spot on the 
horizon was newly signed licensee 
Konami. Well, Konami’s released just a 
few (they’re great, though) Genesis 
titles, and we’re still waiting for that 
- Castlevania game — but who cares! 
There are tons of other top-notch games 
from which to choose. And with 
Silpheed, Rebel Assault, and AH3- 
Thunderstrike, the future looks rosy for 
Sega CD as well! Even the Activator, 
which drew a collective groan from the 
industry when first announced (anybody 




still gota Power Glove lying around?), 
turned out to be lots of fun. 

There hayespftb be some guys 
squirming in their cushy executive 
chairs over at Nintendo of America — 
and if ; they’re not, they should be. The 
Summer Consumer Electronics Show 
really marked a turning point for Sega. 
Nintendo’s Peter Main said publicly that 
his company no longer saw CES as a 
showcase for new titles. But whaddya 
wanna bet the Winter CES in January is 
a different story? Sega just looked too 
good, from its booth to its games to its 
new (and vital) licensee, Capcom. . 

Sega’s rating system came out just 
after the June show, and regardless Of 
what you think about the subject, it 
certainly kept the company in the public 
eye. It also gave a lot of free publicity to 
Mortal Kombat, and if ever there were a 
title that could self game systems, M.K.’s 
, the one. All we’ve heard in the past few 
months are angry Super NES players 
demanding blood — the blood of the 
people who took the gore out of the 
SNeS version. 

And finally, we mentioned it last 
month, but it bears repeating: Sega’s 
advertising campaign is terrific! The 
unifying screaming “SEGA!” makes you 
watch each and every commercial, 
regardless of your interest in the games 
that are featured. And we’ll bet you talk 
to your friends about them, top. 

Whether or not Sega can keep its 
momentum going through the next CES 
remains to be seen, but we’d be willing 
to wager that January brings a real 
knock-down, drag-out fight between the 
Big Boys — and we can’t wait to tell you 
all about it! ■ 

Happy holidays — and may at least 
one Of your presents be a Game Players ‘ 
subscription.

Games We Wanna See in 
Development 

Forbidden Planet, now that a remake 
of the 1 956 sci-fi classic is in the 
works, a video game can't be far 
behind. Calling Robby the Robot.... 

Rocko’s Modern Life: 

NickToons’ natural successor to Ren S 
Stimpy, and besides, we like to watch 
Spunky fill his water bowl. 

Spaceman Spiff. Volume 2 of the 
“Calvin and Hobbes” collection, it could 
be better than Silpheed — there are 
teachers to blast! 

Pterodactyl Woman from Beverly 
Hills, we’d buy a game version of this 
in-the-works Beverly D’Angelo movie 
just for the title — and we know you 
would, too. 

The Virus. Chuck Pfarrer's comic book 
has everything — smart machines, 
intergalactic computer viruses, and 
replicating body parts. 


Hey — we’ve gotten our wish. Actually, 
a couple of them. Several games from 
our past Wish Lists are now in develop- 
ment. Wolfenstein 3D. of PC fame, is on 
the way from Imagineer. And THQ has 
picked up Seaquest DSV for Nintendo 
and Sega platforms. 


Will Sega’s Saturn 
Run Rings Around 
Competition? 


the events that take place on opening night 
of a radio station in 1 939 — is one Lucas 
thought of 20 years ago while directing 
American Graffiti. 

According to Variety, the three Indiana 
Jones movies grossed $620 million in the 
U.S. alone; the Star Wars trilogy brought in 
$808 million. 


Star Wars 
Prequels 

Finally on the Way 


After years of specula- 
tion by the press and 
moviegoers, George 
Lucas is finally making 
plans for his next Star 
Ware trilogy. The three 
movies, which will be 
set ftefcre the movies 
that have already been 
made — Star Wars, 

The Empire Strikes 
Back, and Return of the 
Jedi — will be shot 
simultaneously within the next four years. 
There are no scripts yet. Lucas is reluctant 
to begin writing the stories until his 
Industrial Light and Magic crew comes up 
with the special-effects technology he 
wants to use. “I’m trying to advance the 
technology to a point," he says, “where a 
film like Star Wars becomes feasible." 

Lucas is also planning another Indiana 
Jones movie, and yes, it will star Harrison 
Ford. Steven Spielberg will direct, and The 
Fugitive screenwriter, Jeb Stuart, will pen 
the story. 

Lucas is also the executive producer 
on Radioland Murders, a romantic/murder 
mystery/comedy that began production in 
Wilmington, NC, last month. The story — 


Hitachi and Sega Enterprises have reached 
an agreement that should have a phenom- 
enal impact on Sega’s rumored 32-bit 
Saturn machine. Hitachi will develop a 32- 
bit RISC chip and provide it to Sega for use 
in its multi-media home-game machine. 

The Saturn machine should be 
released next autumn. We hear that it will 
be equipped with a CD-ROM player and will 
have sharply increased data-processing 
speed and high-speed, full-color moving 
pictures. Hitachi will develop and market 
multimedia equipment for business and 
education using the Saturn as a basis. 

A spokesperson for Sega of Japan told 
Game Players that the company has 
already provided specifications for the 
Saturn to certain software companies. 


Super Mario 5 for 
Summer Release? 


Production is underway for Mario 5, the next SNES version of Nintendo’s blockbusting 
series. We hear that the sprite maps and storyline is complete, and that more than 30 
developers are completely devoted to this one project. Normally a team works on as many 
as five games at a time. Programming wizard Sigeru Miyamoto is at the helm. Nitnendo 
hopes to have the game ready for a summer '94 release. 

Zelda Pis in pre-production, but work is progressing on the story. Evidently, players will 
have between four and ten characters from which to choose, and each character gets his or 
her own ending. Sources tell us that Link’s little brother will help out in this quest.

Still Boldly Going? 

Paramount may be rethinking its cancella- 
tion of Star Trek: The Next Generation to 
pilot the cast to the silver screen. We hear 
that the entire cast was recently signed to 
fwo-year contracts, even though 1 993-94 
was supposed to be the final season. And 
the ratings for the season premiere broke 
records. In addition, Deep Space Nine, the 
show that was launched to take the place of 
The Next Generation, still hasn’t captured 
the full audience of the latter. 

Meanwhile, plans are still in the works 
for a big-screen version of ST: TNG, which 
will have a time-traveling theme so stars 
from the original Star Trek can make 
appearances. Leonard Nimoy has been 
approached to direct the flick. 

Mega Mistakes! 

Some last-minute changes to Mega 
Man X reached us after our November 
issue had gone to press. Here’s the 
update:

Autumn Movies 
Featured 
in Trading Cards 

Two hot movies from the autumn are 
featured in new trading-card series by 
SkyBox. 


Demolition Man, which set a box-office 
record its opening weekend, is the subject 



of a 100-card set, which features behind- 
the-scenes shots of stars Sylvester Stallone 
and Wesley Snipes, was well as a ten-card 
subset showcasing the futuristic cars used 
in the movie. 


And Tim Burton’s The Nightmare 
Before Christmas is the subject of a 90- 
card series. The cards feature Jack 



Skellington, Zero, Sally, Lock, Shock, 


Barrel, and the rest of the puppets from the 
movie, as well as a behind-the-scenes 
subset. Four bonus Spectra cards are 
randomly inserted. 


Mortal Movie 

Midway Manufacturing Company andWil- 
liam Electronics Games have set up deals 
for both a feature film and a television 
series based on Mortal Kombat. More 
details later. 


After only four months after its June 
release, Jurassic Park surpassed £T. 
as history's highest-grossing movie 
worldwide. As of October 7, Jurassic 
Park had earned $712.1 million 
($326.1 million dometic and $386 
million foreign. This was without most 
of Europe — the movie had yet to 
open in France and Spain and had just 
opened in Germany and Italy. £ T„ 
released in 1 982, has worldwide 
earnings of $701 million. 

Director Stephen Spielburg now 
has credits in four of the top 1 0 all- 
time moneymakers — in addition to 
Jurassic Park at #1 and £ T. at #2, his 
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade 
(1989) ranks sixth, and Jaws (1975) 
holds ninth place. 

And, of course, Jurassic Park is 
still raking in the bucks. MCA Pictures 
chairman Tom Pollock thinks the 
movie will eventually gross $900 
million, perhaps even topping the $1 
billion mark for the first time in history. 

The video-game versions of 
Jurassic Park aren't doing too shabby, 
either. The Genesis version is a top hit, 
and sales of SNES, NES, and Game 
Boy are brisk. 


Pioneer held a Tokyo preview in mid- 
September to show off its first three 
titles for the LaserActive machine. The 
three titles were 3-D Museum, a library 
of 3-D pictures that you look at with a 
variety of 3-D glasses; Goku, an 
interactive movie staring Songoku, a 
legendary Chinese monkey; and (our 
favorite title) Melon Brains, which 
explores the true life and legends of 
dolphins.

TIME FOR 
MORTAL 




Flying kicks. Super punches. Fireballs. Deathblows. 
Some people call this type of fighting “combat. " 
But there are others who call it kid stuff. Like any- 
one who's sat in the cockpit of an M1A2 Abrams 
battletank, ears ringing with each blast of its 
120mm cannon. Or someone who, 30,000 feet 
above the Mediterranean, banked their F-l 4 
Tomcat at Mach 2 to shake a MiG off their tail. 
Now we're talking mortal combat! 



SOME REAL 
COMBAT! 




And you can too with our spectacular new 16 MEG 
military simulators, SUPER BATTLETANK 2™ and 
TURN AND BURN: NO-FL Y ZONE ™ They’re not real 
life, of course, but their mind-blowing graphics, senses- 
shattering 16-bit sound, and lifelike animation make for 
combat action that sure feels that way. 


Forearm jabs? Roundhouses? Come on. Forget 
the kid stuff. Try fighting like the big boys do.

Jaguar Claws 
Its Way Into 
Gaming Pack 

As the game-machine explosion takes 
place, Atari’s Jaguar is poised to give 3D0 a 
run for the money. Not only is the Jaguar’s 
price tag $500 less than 3D0’s, but it looks 
like IBM is coming on board to give the 
machine a push. IBM has invested between 
$70-80 million to develop Jaguar products: 
the IBM plant in Charlotte, NC — which in 
the past has made computer processors — 
is now talking video games. 

The Jaguar uses the same chip as a 
Genesis, but custom chips have been 
developed to control 3-D objects, improve 
sound, and speed up screen displays. Ten 
games should be available before the end of 
the year, including two games from other 
formats, Alien vs. Predator and Tiny Toon 
Adventures. There’s also a CD add-on 
planned.

Ocean Contest 
Offers $5000 
Grand Prize 

Ocean is sponsoring a nationwide contest to 
promote its release of the Super NES 
version of Jurassic Park. In “The Great Dino 
Egg Hunt,” contestants must find eight 
clues scattered throughout the park’s 
interior and exterior landscapes. You must 
note the specific location of each, then 
solve and unscramble the secret message 
the clues reveal. 

Type or clearly print the clues, their 
locations, and the unscrambled message on 
an 8.5"x1 1 " piece of paper and submit it 
before February 28, 1994 with your name, 
age, address, and phone number to: “The 
Great Dino Egg Hunt”; P.0. Box 459; 
Redwood City, CA 94064-0459. 

A $5,000 prize will be awarded to the 
first contestant who correctly and com- 
pletely finishes the contest. If more than 
one complete, correct entry is received, the 
contestants will share the award. 


Heroes Abound 

Jim Carey of “In Living Color" fame gets a 
starring role in The Mask, now in produc- 
tion. He starts as a mild-mannered guy who 
turns into a wise-cracking superhero-type 
when he finds an ancient mask. THQ is 
developing a video-game adaptation. 

Alec Baldwin started shooting The 
Shadow in late September. Cast includes 
John Lone, Penelope Ann Miller, Peter Boyle, 
Tim Curry, Sir Ian McKellen, and Jonathan 
Winters. Baldwin also might be interested 
in a remake of the Errol Flynn swashbuckler 
Captain Blood, which would be directed by 
John McTiernan, who directed Baldwin in 
The Hunt for Red October. 

Joe Dante may direct The Breen Hor- 
net, a live-action feature based on the Van 
Williams/Bruce Lee TV series. A script is in 
the works by Hard Target screenwriter 
Chuck Pfarrer, who’s also the author of the 
comic book “The Virus.” 

And Damon Wayans evidently didn't 
learn from pal RobertTownsend's mistake. 
Although Meteor Man crumbled, Wayans 
Blankman started shooting in September. 
In this Columbia Pictures comedy, which 
Wayans wrote, stars in, and co-produces, 
he plays a nerd who declares himself a 
superhero despite his lack of gadgets, su- 
perpowers, or a decent disguise. “In Living 
Color” co-star David Allen Grier co-stars as 
Wayans’ brother, who tries to keep 
Blankman out of trouble. Jon Lovitz may 
also co-star.

An Apology to Our Readers 

We at Game Players Nintendo-Segamu\d like 
to apologize for an ad in our November issue 
from a Florida company called Challenge In- 
ternational. When we accepted the ad, we did 
not realize it would be for what is essentially 
equipment to pirate Super Nintendo games. 
Naturally, this is an illegal practice that’s un- 
fortunately running rampant throughout the 
video-game industry, and the result is often 
higher prices for you, the consumer. An ad 
from Challenge International scheduled for 
this issue was immediately cancelled, and 
again, we apologize that the ad ran in our

The 


Complaints 

Counter 


I have a few questions for Sega. First of all, 
why does Sega rate its games? If Lethal 
£nforce/sweren’tMA-17,myparentswould 
have let me buy it. Doesn’t Sega realize that 
the rating on games will only bring down its 
sales by the thousands? This is very disturb- 
ing. I just missed out on a great game due to 
this rating system. 

Eric James 

Carmel, IN 

Sorry, Eric, but that's exactly why Sega 
started a ratings system — so your folks 


would know what games to refuse to buy you. 
But use the ratings asachancetode velop your 
debating skills. I’ll bet if you cited examples of 
violence in other , lesser-rated games (gee, 
Splatterhouse springs to mind, and we know 
that Namco was upset by its MA-13 rating) or 
in TV shows that you watch, you might con- 
vince them to let you whale terrorists in Lethal 
Enforcers. Either that or they’ll take away your 
gaming and TV privileges entirely! 


I really hate it that Japanese releases of video 
games are much cooler than their watered- 
down American counterparts. I don’t just mean 
anime games with 1 2-year-old heroines sport- 
ing cleavage and big hair, but ordinary games. 
One of the Super Famicom games in particular 


had a few extra moves for the hero, like 
throwing people through windows, and I’ve 
been told some of the Street Fighter- style 
games have different combination moves. 

Blake Bennett 
Lexington, KY 

When will there be a good wrestling game 
for Genesis or SNES? I think both systems 
are too hooked on the WWF. All they give 
you are basic moves, then you have a 
power move. They should take notes from 
NEO-GEO and make a game like 3-Count 
Bout.

endo vs. Sega 


I want to give you my opinion of the Nintendo vs. Sega fight. 

Three years ago, I bought a Genesis and three games. I now have 1 5 cartridges, 
two old controllers, and two six-button controllers, the Sega CD, and 14 CD 
games. I love Sega, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t give credit to Nintendo 
for the things it does. 

1 ) Sega Channel: Sega gets a point for this since 
it’s something that’s going to change — a little bit 
— the way we’re playing. 


Anyone 

Over 30 


Sega 1, Nintendo 0 


2) FX Chip: Wow! Giving players the chance to see 
3-D graphics is really cool, and the chip to maxi- 


4) The Activator: It will get me in the game, 
giving kicks to the bad guys. Cool! 

Sega 3, Nintendo 1 

5) Game Ratings: I have two sisters, one 18, 
the other 9. With a GA rating, I know my little 
sister is playing a good video game without 
inappropriate scenes. 

Sega 4, Nintendo 1 

6) The Games: Nintendo won last year, but 
now Sega has better games. But better than 
Nintendo? Call it a draw. 

Sega 5, Nintendo 2 



There are a lot of us SNES players over 30, and 
we love games like Shadowgate, Deja Zu, 
Shadowrun, and Maniac Mansion — but these 
types of games are few and far between. Come 
on, guys! It’s not just a kid’s world out here! 

M. George 
Shelleyville, TN 

I’ve taken all I can stand and must getthis off my 
chest: I’m a 33-year-old RPGer. I started out a 
few years ago with the NES and played every 
RPG I could find: Then the games got few and 
farther between. I got a SNES and Genesis, too, 
but the games stopped coming, and the market 
was flooded with garbage, garbage, and more 
garbage. Why can’t the game companies find 
anyone to hire that can develop a game? Seems 
that they can only copy Hollywood. And I’m so 
sick and tired of seeing these fighting games! 
Any brain-dead zombie can press a button 7000 
times a second. What’s the point? 

Peter Etienne 
Loretto, TN 


mate Strategy guides? I loved the information 
in the #7: Shining Force. 

Eric Vice

Signs point to yes. 

Are Eek! the Cat and Super Godzilla for SNES 
any good?

Burning Question 

- September 
The Last Word - 


Do peripherals such as programmable pads or the 
Game Genie add to game play or take away from it? 


Which is better — Street Fighteror Mortal Kombaf? 
And who’s the fighter you’d most hate to meet in 
a dark alley? 


I won’t use a special peripheral until I’ve tried to crack a 
game on my own. But if I get stuck, it helps to have a 
piece of hardware to help instead of getting so frustrated 
that you start fantasizing about taking out members of 
the design team. 

Cameron Morris 
Richmond, VA 


I’d have to go with Mortal Kombat for two reasons: its 
graphics seem much better than Street Fighter's or 
almost any other game. And you get to do a lot of cool 
finishing moves in Mortal Kombat. The fighter I’d least 
like to meet in a dark alley would probably be Sub-Zero 
— I like my body temperature to stay above 0 degrees. 

Mark Straszewski 
Trenton, NJ 


I like Street Fighter //because it was made by Capcom, 
the best game company ever, and because it’s the best 
game ever in the video-game world. I have Street 
Fighter II Turbo, I don’t plan to Mortal /Comtef because 
the Super NES version sucks, and I play nothing but 
Nintendo. I would, however, most hate to meet Sub- 
Zero in a dark alley because he pulls your head and 
spine right off of you. Ouch! 

Joe Moore 
San Diego, CA 


I think Mortal KombatoiAc\asses Street Fighter II majorly. 
For example, the characters look more realistic than 
some hairy monsters. Second, the fatality moves rule'. 
Even the special moves are cool. The only problem is that 
the Super Nintendo version has no blood option. The 
person I would hate to meet is Scorpion — he could torch 
me. 

Wesley Phillips 
Austin, TX 


wide selection of moves that Mortal Kombat has to 
offer. As for meeting one of them in a dark alley; I 
know I would meet my doom with the eye-less 
thunder god named Rayden. 

Dustin Elliott 
Hebron, KY 


In my opinion, Mortal Kombat is better than SFII. It has 
better graphics and better sound FX. Don’t get me 
wrong, I love SFII, but Mortal Kombat has the thing 
everyone wants — blood! 

Michael Mascara 
Ft. Pierce, FL 


How can you compare the two greatest fighting 
game powerhouses of all time? Both Mortal Kombat 
and Street Fighter II are great in their own ways: 
Street Fighter II has cartoony characters, and Mortal 
Kombat give you a more realistic feel. Raiden is my 
favorite brawler because his SNES finishing move is 
still cool! 

Josh Kramer 
Camas, WA 


Mortal Kombat for Genesis has bad graphics, bad 
sound effects, and should have more characters and 
more special moves. You’ll get bored with it in a week. 
Street Fighter II has more variety, better graphics, and 
more moves. Kano would not be the one to meet in a 
dark alley because he’s a criminal and his red eye 
would freak me out a little. 

Jeff DeVault 

Broomall, PA 


Street Fighter. More fighters, more moves, better com- 
bos, harder game play. 

Daniel Bowen 
Wesley, AR 


I am the happy owner of both SFII and Mortal Kombat, 
and I think I can honestly say that I enjoy the fatalities and 


The reason's in the fatalities!. You’d never see Ryu rip 
Sagat’s head off with a dragon punch. And where’s the 
btoocR I’m only going to buy Mortal Kombat. I’ve rented 
SFII Turbo and like it, but it just wasn't it SFII may be 
a veteran, but move over — Mortal Kombat is gonna 
knock you out. I’d hate to meet Raiden in a dark alley 
— he’s a thunder god and could kick my butt and 
make my head explode.

The new Street Fighter 2 Turbo is better than Mortal 
Kombat— I went right out and purchased it soon after 
it came out, but I stayed home on Mortal Monday. SF 
Turbo has more characters and better play control — 
at lease until Super Street Fighter is translated. With 
Mortal Kombat I either get the better graphics and 
sound with the SNES version, or better play control and 
“blood and guts" with the Genesis. Either choice 
leaves me worried about what I’m missing.

HOOK 


How do you defeat the Skeleton Boss of 
Skeleton Rock in Hook for SNES? 

Julius 
Clearwater, FL 

A frontal assault won’t work. When he throws 
his head at you, jump over him (fly if you can 
— but be quick) and hit him from behind. 
After a fast hit or two, get a way from him and 
wait for him to throw his head again. 


Mystery 
off fcfiiBi Month 

How do you fight the elusive Reptile? 

Adam 
Mi Kisco, NY 

Letters and faxes asking this question have 
been piling up ever since Mortal Monday. 
Obviously, it's a mystery that won’t go 
away, although any hardcore arcade addict 
could answer it as well as we could. 

They’re not hard to spot — just look for the 
guys walking through the streets with their 
arms outstreched yelling “Mortal 
Kombaaaat! Mortal Kombaaaat! 

Anyway, Reptile 
is that strange 
fighter who looks 
like Scorpion or 
Sub-Zero except 
he’s dressed in 
green. He drops in 
every so often, 
taunts the player, then leaps out again. 
Getting to fight him is a once in a lifetime 
event — check this: 


^nnbiy Star IN 

I’m stuck in Phantasy Star III. I'm on the 
third generation, playing as Sean. I’ve 
found Laya, and of course I’m with the 
cyborgs, but I can’t find Kara. Please help. 

Bryan 
Tucson, AZ 

Once you’ve found Laya, you’d better pack a 
lunch — you’ve got some serious walking 
ahead of you! Travel to the cave in the 
southwest corner of Aridia and open it with 
Laya 's Mystery Star. It takes you to Frigidia. 

Go to Mystoke, talk to all the villagers, and go 
to Mystoke Castle. Laya’s Pendant is in the 
heart of the castle ; USE it to hear Laya's story, 
then head north from Mystoke to find a pair of 
temples. There's a large blue square inside 
every temple, and now that you have Laya’s 
Pendant, you can use the squares to teleport 
to temples on other planets. 

The eastern temple leads to southern 
Elysium. From there head north to Aerone. 

Talk to the villagers for clues to the rocket 
shuttle east of the village, then take the 
shuttle to Dahlia, Lune's base. Talk to Lune 
and his daughters until Kara joins you ; she 
has Lune’s Slicer. Also, be sure to check 
through Dahlia Dungeon for the Aero parts. 


1) He lives 
in the bottom 
of The Pit, so 
that's the only 
area you can 
find him — 
and even then 
only in one- 
player Tournament mode. SNES players get a 
chance every time the Pit comes around, but 
Genesis players must watch for odd silhou- 
ettes floating across the moon (Genesis 
owners take heart, however, and check out 
this month's Codebreakers). 

2) Don 't use any blocking moves while 
fighting in The Pit. You know, L and R for 
SNES, Start for Genesis, or B and Yon a 
Genesis 5-button pad. 

3) You must score a Double Flawless 
victory. 

4) Destroy the opponent using your 
Finishing move. 

If you do everything correctly, you 
should wind up in The Pit fighting Repb'le. 

He can use all the moves of both Sub-Zero 
and Scorpion, but if you beat him, there'sa 
bonus often million points! 


Use Hast 
Vikings 

What do you do next after you get all three 
Vikings to the red keyhole on the last level 
of Lost Vikings for SNES? Where’s the red 
key? What does Eric do after he uses the 
transporter and has to face Tomator all 
alone? We really need your help! We've 
been working on this level for two-and-a- 
half weeks! 

Danny 
Halifax, MA 



Look for a bunch of food and a shield or two 
on before you reach this area — make sure 
you give Eric as much as he can carry. 
Tomator throws two bombs and shoots his 
ray gun (in that order). Stay a step or so away 
from him so the bombs lob over you, then 
jump to the ladder in the center of the room to 
stay above his shots. His forcefield turns off 
and he moves to the other end of the room — 
drop and have Eric charge into him while his 
field is down. It takes six or so hits, but 
eventually he disappears. The red key is off to 
the right. 

By the way, this isn’t the last time you 
see Tomator. The Vikings must combine their 
talents to finally kill him off: Use Olaf's shield 
to protect you, Baleog’s flaming arrows to 
take down his forcefield, and have Eric 
charge into him to push him back 



I’m stuck in Shadowgate. When I go to get 
the staff, I get stuck when I reach the troll 
on the bridge. Can you help me? 

Damian 
Lisbon, OH 

The troll guard wants a 
toll, but hit him with 
your spear instead of 
paying him. When you 
come back a second 
time, however, he’s 
wised up and your 
spear won’t work. Use 
the Humana spell 
instead to sneak by.

I'm having trouble with Shadowrun. I have 
the dog collar and a ghoul bone, but I can’t 
find the third thing to take to the Dog Spirit 
for a spell. And where can I get the most 
money? I never have enough to hire 
anyone! 


Rusty 
Newark, OH 


Here ’s a complete list of what the Dog Spirit 
needs for different spells: 

• Heal: Dog Collar from the dog in the town 
square, Magic Fetish from the Rat Shaman, 
and enchanted Leaves from Kitsune. 

• Summon Spirit: Dog Collar and Dog Tag 

• Power Ball: The Ghoul Bone from the 
graveyard near'the Grim Reaper and the 
Meteoric Iron Paperweight from the room next 
to Glutman’s office. 

• Invisibility: Toxic Water from the town 
fountain and Clean Water from the ghost ship, 
held in blue and purple bottles from the 
talisman shop. 

• Armor: Dragon Scales from the volcano, 
and Mermaid Scales from the docks. 

• Freeze: Black Bottle filled with octopus ink 
and Mermaid Scales. 

There’s no easy way to earn money. At 
the beginning, fight anyone who takes a pot 
shot at you. After Glutman sends you to the 
car yards in Chapter 2, you’ve got a good 
chance to build both karma and money: 
There’s a bed in the northeast corner of the 
yards where you can rest and save the game. 
There’s also a small area where you’re 
attacked at random in the middle of the 
southern edge — fight here until you’re 
strong enough to make real money in the 
Arena. It takes longer to get out of the yards 
by fighting the king than paying him off, but 
you’re in better shape if you face him in the 
Arena.

How do you get past the last guard on 
level 15 and beat the game? I can crawl to 
the panel and flip the switches, but then 


the guard kicks me in the head! What do I 
do? 

Patrick 
Yakima, WA 

You’ve got the right idea, you’ve just got no 
timing. Once you’ve reached the switches, 
wait until the guard overpowers your alien 
friend and comes after you. When he’s in the 
center of the room, flip the switch and watch 
him get destroyed. Crawl back to the center, 
and you and your friend are zipped out of the 
room. He throws you over his shoulder, and

You should have a smoke bomb after your 
encounter with the Japanese tourists. When 
the gang shows up, head for the Golden Bowl 
Bar and talk to Ray, the guy at the door. He 
won’t help you, but he eventually gives you a 
wrench. Throw the smoke bomb at the gang, 
and while they're obscured by the cloud, use 
the wrench to open the nut on top of the 
hydrant (as usual with Willy, timing and 
positioning are tricky). Run away while the 
gang is being doused, and head for the 
Tootsweet Pavilion, where you run into the 
tourists again. Tell them “Help! Those guys 
are gonna clobber me!" They turn out to be a 
family of ninjas who bail you out.

I found some tips for SFIItor SNES. 

• For an easy KO of Balrog with Guile, back 
into a corner, hold back and repeatedly hit 
fierce. This creates spinning backfists and 


kills him every time. 

• After you’ve used the code for Same vs. 
Same, you can hit Start when selecting 
your character to get the Champion 
Edition color uniforms. For the original 
color, hit A. 

• To change control configuration during 
game play, repeatedly hit Select and Start 
at the same time during the Vs. screen 
(right before the match begins). 

• To beat Vega easily with Chun Li, jump 
in one spot, using roundhouse kicks 
whenever he comes in close. 

• For Ken and Ryu's double-hit dragon 
punch, press the button once while 
pressing Forward and again when back 
around.

Can you help me find it? 

Lucas 
Lake Park, IVIN 

Oh, I think we can help. First, head into the 
Mysterious Woods until you meet a raccoon 
who tells you that you’ll get lost. Sure enough, 
if you try going north away from him, you 
wind up going in circles. Find the cave with 

the sign outside 
that warns you 
not to step on 
cracks. Enter 
the cave and 
follow it until 
you come to a 
clearing with a toadstool you can grab. Go 
back through the cave, then take the path 
north until you reach a cave blocked by three 
rocks. Take the path east until you come to 
the Witch’s Hut. Give her the mushroom, and 
she uses it to make you some magic powder. 
Use the powder 
on the raccoon, 
and its spell will 
be broken. Just 
to the north is a 
chest with the 
Tail key. Voiia!

Patience and a keen eye are key. You can’t 
attack the Master Robot directly — he ’s 
hedgehog-proof — but notice that the energy 
bombs bouncing around can hurt him. There 
are several different patterns, but if you stay as 
far to the right as you can — without touching 
the Master Robot, of course — you give 
yourself more time to avoid them. Keep 
dodging, and he keels over once he ’s had 
enough. 


I’ve played Sonic 2 enough to be able to 
identify almost all of the sound effects. The 
one I can’t find is Sound Test #1 0. Is it a 
secret I haven't found yet?

I’m in the bathroom in Harley’s Humongous 
Adventure, but I can’t get through the pipes. 
I take every path, but there's a dead end on 
each. Please help! 


Believe it or not, for the last several months, 
this has been the most asked question about 
Sonic 2 Don't you folks think you’re spending 
a little too much time with one game? 

However, just for you — and John, and 
Travis, and all the other readers who seem 
obsessed with the music of blue hedgehogs — 
sources at Sega tell us that Sound Check #7 0 
was written for a level that was planned, but 
then eliminated during Sonic 2’s design. 

At that point, however, the soundtrack 
had already been completed and added to the 
game, so Sound Test #10 remains in the sound 
file even though there's no level in which to 
hear it. Apparently this isn 't uncommon in the 
industry, and if you really want to check every 
game that closely, you can find other ex- 
amples. 

I’m stuck in Sonic 2 for Game Gear. All I 
need to get to the Crystal Egg level is the 
second Chaos Emerald. Can you help me? 

Brad

The second emerald is in the Sky High Zone, 
Act 2. Ride the first hang-glider up, up, and to 
the right. The emerald is in the right corner, 
above the clouds. By the way, the quick way 
through this stage is to keep going to the right 
after you grab the jewel. 


Help! S.O.S.! I really need your help. I really 
love Sonic the Hedgehog, so I bought Sonic 
2 tor Game Gear. I’ve tried everything to get 
past the boss in Act 3 of the Underground 
Zone. I’m a Sonic crazy girl, and I need 
help!

The way out of the bathroom isn 't through the 
tub drain. Go down to pick up the bonus items, 
then beat a hasty retreat before you run out of 
air! Return to the surface and look for a bar of 
green soap. Push it into the water, jump on top, 
and start running. After a moment, you 
produce a bubble. If it doesn ’t surround you, 
jump into it, then use it to float up to a series of 
towel bars. When your bubble pops (or is 
popped by a critter), leap on the bars, following 
themupand to the right until you find the 
machine part that ends the stage.

Using Sub-Zero, whittle your oppo-

nothing, then use your Ice Blast to 
finish him. 


Execute the Fatality move and keep 
an eye on your opponent — he splits

kind of cool.

^T^irtuallyVR 

VictorMaxx’s StuntMaster beat Sega’s VR to 
the market by four months or so, but should 
those techies dying for Virtual Reality adopt 
early? And if not, will Sega’s VR be any 
better? 

After initial testing, our TechTalk team 
came away with varied opinions of the 
Stuntmaster — and most folks were 
disappointed. Although this is the only low- 
cost video-game compatible VR accessory 
on the market today, it still fell short of what 
we expect from VR gear. But this was first- 
generation hardware, and updates should 
include many options our version couldn’t 
because of engineering tradeoffs, including 
a vitally important focus knob. We found the 
image inside the headgear so out of focus 
that one of our testers got a headache after 
only five minutes of playing — and he has 
20/20 vision! 

Other tradeoffs include a lack of 
padding on the nose bridge (ouch!) and a 
limited field of vision. The Stuntmaster does 
have left-to-right tracking (if you move your 
head to the left, the character goes left, and

vice versa), plus stereo sound. Still, it’s 
more like a Viewmaster than a VR helmet. 
Whether or not the novelty of being the first 
on your block to own one makes up for 
blowing $200 is up to you. The upgraded 
unit will sell for $350 or so. A little pricey, 
but you get a much better unit. If you can’t 
wait... don’t say we didn’t warn you. 

As far as Sega goes, we still hear that 
it will be next summer before its headset is 
ready. We hear that Sega’s had trouble 
with the tracking mechanism. 

So while you've got to praise Victor 
Maxx for being first on the market, the 
Stuntmaster still has a long way to go.

Mommy and Daddy remembered to get 
batteries. But unfortunately, they die after 
two hours of playing. Daddy spends the 
happy day trekking to convenience stores 
looking for AAs to keep Johnny from crying 
his eyes out. He should have shelled out 
the extra cash for rechargeable batteries.

little Johnny’s predicament. These bat-

and when the battery can no longer take a

Millenniumtor recycling. The company, in 
turn, replaces the battery for free. 

Why choose Millennium? Gates 
Energy has done extensive research on its 
rechargables, decreasing the charge time 
(in some cases to less than an hour) and 
increasing the amount of charge cells hold. 
In addition, we found that every Millennium 
Rechargeable product outperformed 
competitors. The batteries are easy to use 
and that lifetime guarantee makes 
them very attractive.

stages. 




Haw to Injure 


The jump kick 

is your fastest 
attack — use it 
for 90 percent of 
your work. Learn 
it, do it, live it. 


Don’t use the chop unless there’s only one 
enemy around. It’s very slow, and once you 
start a swing, there’s no way to stop. 


There are two or 
three spell 
variations, but all do 
the same amount of 
damage. Save them 
for bosses. 



The jump swing won’t get you out of harm’s 
way like a jump kick, but you can use it to hit 
enemies immediately behind you. 


The shield isn’t an attack — it’s a 
desperate attempt to avoid damage. 
Jumping away is usually better. 








Beginning af the Quest 




Bowmen — They stay at 
the screen’s edges and 
take only one shot to kill. 


Spearmen — Common 
grunts who show up in every 
stage. 


Swordsmen — Almost 
as common, they’re 
better at blocking your 
attacks, and they can 
jump around. 



Bog Monsters 
— These slime- 
covered 

skeletons aren’t 
any more 
dangerous than 
anything else, 
but you fight 
them while knee- 
deep in muck. 



Also one of the toughest. You must stay inside the 
range of his staff and kicks. Jump-kick to get close, 
and hang with him as best you can. 


First Boss 

— This tree 
monster can be 
hit only with 
jump attacks. 
Blast it with 
spells, then 
finish it off. 




Attack Dogs — Hard to hit, but 
they die with one blow. 


The Citg 


Thieves — Sneaky little 
goons, they like to come at 
you from behind. 


— Imposing, 
but stupid. Their axes 
give them a long reach. 


— Very 


I tough, he can t 
I barrels and charge with ; ; 
devastating speed. Jump 
up or down to get out of 
; barrel range, then attack 
■ when he goes to retrieve it. 


The Black 



Skeletons — Very good at 
shielding themselves, they 
can also take a lot of 
damage. Be careful. 


Temple 



Wizards — Slow and 
basically ineffective as 


warriors, they can still pack 
a wallop if you’re not 
careful. 



Third Boss — Easy to 
defeat with jump attacks; 
however, he brings in a friend 
after taking a certain amount 
of damage. Blast the gargoyle with spells if he gives you any trouble.

Axe Warriors — Big and

I e BioMetal, a long war has divided the galaxy and 
exhausted its resources. The human race stands on the 
brink of extinction. The Galactic Council, in a last-ditch 
^ , . effort, dispatches a fleet of ships into the 

far reaches of the cosmos to mine new 
resources. While examining Planet UP457, 
the fleet is attacked and destroyed by a 
. race of aliens known as the BioMetal. 

. Since UP457 is within yoiir sector, 
you’re immediately sent into action. Your 
mission: To destroy the BioMetal within 
.32 hours to keep them from breeding — 
■ prid faking ever the galaxy. You’re at the 
helm of a MF-92GX Halbard,, equipped 
with a plasma rifle, missiles, and an ex- 
perimental GAM (Gel Analog Mutant) Unit, 
mpf You can power-up your plasma rifle by 
retrieving any of three power-pod en- 
hancements left by ally weapon suppli- 
^ ers, and you have three types of missiles 
U at your disposal as well. But the GAM is 
your most valuable weapon, continually 
charging and regenerating to protectyour 
ship. Use it sparingly! 

Activision’s souped-up shooter 
kicks the life into your Super NES, with 

M five action-filled levels and a techno- 
charged soundtrack that’s to die for! Die- 
hard arcade fans might find the stages 
short, but BioMetal more than makes up 
for it in difficulty! You provide the power, 


2 Unlimited provides the tunes! 


The Vulcan Cannon 
disperses a powerful 
wide burst of 
vulcanized plasma. 


The Laser Cannon 
provides a more 
streamlined burst of 
plasma that easily 
cuts through larger 
BioMechs. 


The Wide-Beam 
Rifle: Your most 
powerful weapon 
disperses plasma 
across a broad area 
— you’re unstop- 
pable with it. 


The MF-92GX 
Halbard 


The Halbard is 
the mothership 
of your fleet. 
This advanced 
fighter is the 
galaxy’s only 
chance against 
the BioMetal.

The GAM Defensive/Offensive Mechanism 




Carefully watch the GAM’s power meter — once it’s 
exhausted, the GAM must recharge and your Halbard 
is left unprotected. 


When you’re on 
the defensive, 
use the GAM’s 
powerful attack 
against larger 
bios. 


But when you’re on 
the offensive, this 
formation enables 
the GAM to protect 
your ship — use it in 
overcrowded areas. 


STAGE 2: DESERT RAVE 


STAGE 1: 
METAL STORM 


STAGE 3: PSYCHEDELIC CAVE 


Watch out for dead 
ends deep within the 
cave. Power-up the 
Wide-Beam Rifle or 
Laser Cannon to 
defeat the larger bios. 


Use the GAM for protection, 
and keep in mind that it must 
recharge before you meet the 
boss. 


Wave after wave of bio-drones and 
bio-worms are nonetheless no match 
for the GAM’s attack and defensive 
abilities. 


BOSS: Avoid 
the spores, 
shoot directly 
into the flowers, 
and use the 
GAM as 
protection. 


THE RAVE REVOLUTION 


BOSS: Stay high and use the 
GAM for protection. Target its 
eye. 


Although Techno-Rave is still in its infancy, its mesmerizing 
beats and fierce hooks have grabbed devoted followers, even 
though the musical industry has ignored it other than an 
occasional news report on its evils. 

Since its early beginnings in German houseclubs, T echno- 
Rave was seen as high-end, high-energy dance music played 
by DJs with esoteric tastes. It wasn’t until 2 Unlimited's 
“Twilight Zone” and its infectious follow-up “Get Ready for 
This” broke into the worldwide dance charts that the U.S. 
mainstream began to take notice. Last summer, AB Logic’s 
“Get Up” topped out on many top 40 crossover stations. 

Kelly Rodgers, a producer for Activision, is a big fan of 
Rave, and it was his idea to use it to replace the original 
Japanese soundtrack in Bio Metal. It was also his idea to 
contact the group 2 Unlimited, a leader in Techno-Rave. 

As we reported last July, licensees such as Virgin Inter- 
active (Global Gladiators ), Interplay ( The Lost Vikings), and 
JVC ( Jaguar XJ220) are currently incorporating Rave-like 
soundtracks into their games. And Techno-Rave dance com- 
pilations are some of the best-selling products in record stores 
across the U.S. The tunes just keep getting better.... 


BOSS: Again, target its eye and 
continue firing until it’s destroyed. Use 
the GAM in close-attack runs. 


STAGE 4: DEAD ZONE 


BOSS — 
and 
beyond: 
This bio- 
worm’s 
only weak 
area is its 


the GAM for protection and lead the worm 
into your line of fire. Intelligence advises you 
to use the same methods and skills to battle 
the remanding stages. Good luck. 


Take out the smaller ground 
installations with GAM strafing 
runs. Continue to use the GAM 
for protection.

- the teailymS days, like Middle Ages old. 


Ah, the good old days ... 

Years before there was a King Arthur or a Round Table, there was a 
soon-to-be-famous young wizard named Merlin. Jolted out of a 
sound sleep by the cries of a young woman, he rushed outside to find 
a maiden drowning in a river. Without a moment's thought for his 
own safety, he dove in after her. Maybe he should have thought for 
a moment, however, because his heart was bigger than his biceps, 
and the strong current pulled him under. 

But soon-to-be-great wizards can’t be killed so easily. When 
Merlin awoke, he found himself in a strange land, one ruled with an 
iron fist by the evil Shadow King. Since the land was low on heroic- 
types, he figured he’d give it a shot. 

If you’re looking for something that's both different and good, 
check out Young Merlin. It’s a prime nominee for Sleeper of the Year 
— there’s no overhyped marketing campaign, just a consistently 
entertaining game that’s a joy to play. Part action, part RPG, part 
puzzler, every part of Young Merlin looks great and plays even better.

Let's cut to the chase: Secret of Mona is the best RPG for 
Super NES we've seen all year. Square Soft, maker of the 
various Final Fantasy games, is known for its fine work, 
but the designers have outdone themselves this time. 
Mana is not only huge, but the graphics also set a new 
standard for 16-bit RPGs, with lush landscapes andlarger- 
than-usual characters. It's simply packed to the gills with 
great stuff. 

In a welcome departure, combat is handled in an 
arcade style. While some purists might object, this combat 
is smooth and challenging, not a thumb-busting exercise. 
It keeps things moving faster than in a normal RPG, and 
it also lets one, two, or (if you've got a multi-tap) even three 
people play at the same time. 

So what are you waiting for? If you miss this one, 
you're missing out!

Zombies Ate My Neighbors'^ a video-game adaptation 
of just about every B movie ever filmed. In addition to 
protecting your neighborhood from the grave rejects in 
the title, you must fend off weitewolves, mummies, 
aliens, and a bunch of other classic movie monsters. 
The object is simple: Grab your/iffighbors before the 
ghouls do. 

At the beginning of the gaifie, you have ten neigh- 
bor victims to rescue, and you goto certain number of 
points for each one. If you save them all, you get a ton 
of bonus points at the end of the levctExtra victims pop 
up at certain point levels, and if all your neighbors meet 
their doom (or if you loose three lives) the game's over. 

You’re armed with a squirt gun at the beginning of 
the game that safely takes care of the zombies. But to 
take on the tougher monsters, pillage your neighbi 
houses in search of plates, silverware, soda cans, am 
any object suitable for slinging at evil fiends. Careful 
voters can also find first-aid kits and handy potions. 
^ Zombies Ate My Neighbors is a truly inventive 
njjame that has enough strategy to keep things 
rolling. The graphics and sound effects are adequate, 
and the spooky soundtrack is particularly appropriate. 

coolest thing about the game, however, is that it 
has 55 levels, most chock-full of secret passageways 
and humor and replay value, 

Zombies is sure to keep youjrusy for quite awhile!

W Jonathan Gagnon 

e need a hero who can keep 
Marvin the Martian from taking over 
the galaxy. We need a hero brave 
enough.to risk his life for interstellar 
peace. We need a hero like — Daffy 
Duck? 

That’s right! In Daffy Duck: The 
Marvin Missions, based on the classic 
Looney Tunes cartoon “Duck Dodgers 
in the 24 1/2 Century,” our favorite 
fowl stops at nothing to keep Marvin 
from kidnapping cosmic space 
ambassadors and blowing up Earth. 
But what is a hero without a trusty 
sidekick? Luckily, Porky Pig is on 
hand to h-h-help Daffy if the action 
gets too heated. 

The Marvin Missions is 20 levels 
of nonstop action, wacky humor, and , 
excellent graphics. You can choose m 
frofn a bunch of weapons, and therej| 
are bonus items and secret rooms to 
uncover — not to mention a slew of 
bosses that each bring you one step 
closer to Marvin. This blast off is a 
blast! 


Watch out for glowing rocks in the wall 
— there’s usually a monster lurking 
nearby. 


Marvin can't accomplish his 
mission as long as you and 
Porky are on the case. 




Search 
around the 
Lava Lakes 
hotel for 
goodies — 
and 

excitement. 


Use your nutty attack against the helpers 
this time. 


This juice glass contains a healthy 
space-breakfast drink. But watch out for 
the rocks ahead. 


These Marvin helpers try to 
get yo^in a pickle. Try 
freezing one of them, then 
concentrate on the other. 


There’s a hole in the floor hidden by this stream of 
lava.

.. 












Watch the water level — 
bombs float toward you. 


When you face Marvin in his 
metal contraption, crouch here 
and keep firing upward — but 
keep an eye on the metal claw’s 
position and get out of the way 
if it comes near you. 


These dragons heat up the 
action. Concentrate on 
one so you don’t get 
caught in a crossfire. 


Move very, very slowly in the tube so you’re not caught off guard. The puffer fish 
chases you if you’re not careful. 


This boss 1 is tricky; Use 
your jetpack to get on the 
same level as Marvin — 
your shots will destroy him 
faster. 


Quickly shoot at the gears to stop the 
waits from closing in. 


Ouch — that electric ray 
hurts. Keep moving back and 
forth while shooting upward. 
When Marvin swoops down, 
jump over his ship. 


Sure, the * 
background’s 
beautiful, but 
don’t forget about 
the villains like 
the little guy 


Jump over the cannon shots, then 
wait until the electric door 
disappears to continue. Watch for 
signposts — they’re continue 
points. 


This stubborn-looking chicken turns into 
a robot. Jump his shots, then return the 
favor.

I J SunSoft is to video-gaming what 

Goodyear is to race-car tires — 
both companies burn rubber to stay 
in front of the competition. Speed is key, 
and the Looney Tunes license is quickly 
putting SunSoft at the front of the pack. 

Sure, Sonic is synonomous with 
speed, but long before there were video 
games, the Looney Tunes characters 
were blazing new trails on the cartoon 
scene. In its second year of a five-year 
licensing agreement with Warner 
Brothers to use the Looney Tunes 
characters, SunSoft has already released 
The Roadrunner’s Death Valley Rally for 
Super NES, Taz-Mania for Super NES, 
and Speedy Gonzales for Game Boy. A 
SNES version of Speedy is expected in 
time for the 1994 holidays, but it could 
be ready as early as August or Septem- 
ber. 

“The hunger for video games south 
of the border is tremendous, and Speedy 
is definitely a south of the border kind of 
character,” said David Siller, director of 
product development for SunSoft. 

Next up, however, is Rabbit 
Rampage for Super NES, which pits 
Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, and the 
Tasmanian Devil against Bugs Bunny. 
The title is expected in January and will 
feature a lot of in-your-face, slapstick 
action — the type of humor that made 
Bugs Bunny famous. 

Gamers will be glad to know that 
Wile E. Coyote gets another chance to 
stick a fork in the Roadrunner. This time, 
the cunning coyote even gets top billing 
— the name of the game is Wile E. ’s 
Revenge. You can count on new Acme 
contraptions, too. 

SunSoft has also let Game Players 
know that it will be making another 
Tasmanian Devil title for SNES, and Taz 
will be making an appearance on Game 
Boy as well. These games are still in the 
early stages of development, so few 
details were available. Expect the 
games, however, for next year’s holiday 
season. 

“When we made the first Taz title 
for SNES,” Siller says, “we wanted a 
game that moms, dads, and first-time 
gamers could enjoy, not just 12 to 13 
year olds.” 


Daffy must hurry — everyone’s lining up to see Earth 
destroyed. , 


It’s time to explore Mars. 


This guys 
sure has a 
lot of guns. 
Be sure to 
dodge his 
gunfire. 


Shoot, or be shot. These guys don' 
notice you until you start firing. 


What a big gun Marvin has! When 
he shoots, jump between the 
shots and the shell. 


This guy looks 
familiar ... too 
bad you’ve got to 
blow him away. 


It’s just you and Marvin 
now. Run around those 
ledges while firing at him, 
but don’t let him get close 
enough to run into. you. 


Use the elevator to get 
to different floors — 
but be careful where 
you get off.

Side Pocket 




Here, you pocket the balls in any order, with each 
successful (and legal) shot counting as one point. 
The first player to reach an agreed-upon point goal 
is the victor. 


The Shots 


The most basic pool shot involves a straight 
line between the cue ball, the object ball (the 
one you're aiming for), and the intended 
pocket. Give serious consideration — even 
on simple shots — to the power of your shot 
as well as the English you apply. 


This combination of straight pool 
and Nine Ball is unique to the video- 
game world. Each board has a 
different rack (beginning arrange- 
ment) of a certain number of balls 
(which changes with each board). 
You should hit the balls in order, but 
if you can’t, just sink as many as 
possible or use trick shots. 


J 

At the end of the game, you get points based 
on 1 ) the number of balls you sank in 
sequence, 2) the number sunk in a row, and 
3) the number of trick shots you successfully 
completed. 


A combination shot causes your object ball 
to hit another and send it hurling toward a 
pocket. This kind of shot is especially useful 
in Nine Ball or in games where you must hit 
balls in order, but there’s no hope of sinking 
i the next ball in sequence. 


The idea of a bank shot is to bounce 
the cue ball off a rail, causing it to hit 
your intended object ball. Use a bank 
shot when another ball is in the way 
of the one you want to hit. 


When the object ball 
isn’t in lined up between 
the cue ball and the 
intended pocket, try to 
cut the ball. Aim the cue ball so it hits the object ball slightly off center. Cut 
the ball left, for example, by aiming at the right side of the object ball. 


SPIN 


English 

describes the I 

various spins you can put on the cue ball by hitting it slightly off 
center. Hit the cue ball left of center, for instance, to cause it to 
spin right (clockwise) and curve slightly to the left. English makes 
the object ball curve noticeably in the opposite direction.

C hampionship Pool is best described as an electronic billiards 

simulator. Overall, it’s rougher around the edges than Side Pocket ; 
but it makes its case as the definitive simulation of the real game by 
providing you with just about every game-play option you could want, 
and then some! 

Check out all the variations on the basic game on the main menu, and be 
sure to give the freestyle game a try. In freestyle, you’re given a choice of racks, 
then can gofromthere. If you wantafive-playerversionof 1 3 Ball with the stipulation 
that balls coming into contact with an orange ball before dropping inthe pocket 
must be returned to the table, you can. 

Aside from the sometimes awkward controls, Championship Pool is the 
perfect game for serious pool players who want to play at home without giving 
up floor space for a table. 


Data East; 1850 Little Orchard Street; San Jose, CA 95125 


f’i ide Pocket is slicker than Championship Poo/, with 
l * excellent graphics of both the table and the babe that 
% appear between rounds. The music and sound 
f 1 effects are equally impressive, particularly the 
S-/ crystal clear “presented by Date East” announce- 
ment that opens the game. The interface is also easier 
to handle than Championship Pool’s intensive menu 
arrangement. 

However, Side Pocket isn’t really faithful to the game 
of pool. You can play two-player Nine Ball, but you’re 
generally limited to the unique Side Pocket roles we 
described earlier. At the same time, the fast-paced game 
play, killer sound and graphics, and the overall Vegas feel 
make Side Pocket enjoyable for casual players.

gets a hold of him. 


Flames, speed, and razor-sharp 
blades combine to make this boss an 
incredible threat to your hairy little 
body. 


These guys are usually

trees, but sometimes they

The later stages consist 
of the Sea Caverns, the 
Arctic Circle, and Dr.

Then, at last, Awesome 
Possum cleans up Dr. 
Machino himself. 


There’s a short environ-mental quiz between 
each level. Each question has three answers 
from which to choose — answer correctly and 
receive 10,000 bonus points. Fortunately there’s 
no penalty for incorrect answers ... other than 
some nasty looks from the other animals.

JEFF LUNDRIGAN 


T he world has 
i been thrown 
ij into chaos: 
^BSSl Men have 
been changed into wolves, 
buildings have sunk into the 
sand, and mutant beasts roam 
free. People have abandoned 
cities to seek refuge in the coun- 
tryside, hiding like animals. 
Arm iesbegin to lootand pillage. 

From a remote corner of 
England, Baron Fortesque 
watches the confusion. The 
power-hungry autocrat has 
forced a scientist to create a 
Chaos Engine to throw the world 
into flux. But without warning, 
the machine imprisons Baron 
Fortesque and transforms him 
into a horrid beast. Meanwhile, 
the machine continues to alter 
time and space. 


Enter the Soldiers of For- 
tune, mercenaries who each 
possess a special ability, You 
choose two from the six at your 
disposal, then send them into 
the baron's estate to destroy 
the machine. One highly-rec- 
ommended strategy: Go it 
alone. Enteratwo-playergame, 
kill off the second character, 
then collect all the money for 
yourself. 

Soldiers of Fortune is a little 
like Gauntlet ... without even 
that much excitement. The 
graphics are fine, and there are 
some interesting puzzles and 
other secret stuff, butthe game's 
control leaves something to be 
desired. You usually wind up 
being more frustrated than chal- 
lenged. On the other hand, if 
you can play with a friend, you 
could do worse than Soldiers of 
Fortune.

The 1-Team 



Brigand: One of the 
two most balanced 
characters, you 
can’t go wrong 
using him or the 
Mercenary — they’re average at 
everything, although Brigand is 
better looking. 



Gentleman: Like the 
Scientist’s gun, 
Gentleman’s flamer 
passes through 
monsters, so a 
single burst can injure more than 
one. His map is useful if you’re on a 
level for the first time. 



Mercenary: 
Tactically, the only 
difference between 
the Brigand and 
the Mercenary is 
each man’s special power-up. The 
Mercenary’s first-aid kit comes in 
mighty handy by the time you get it. 



Nawie: If you go it 
alone and kill off 
your second 
characer, either 
Nawie or the Thug 
would be your character of choice. 
He’s slow, but very powerful. 



Scientist: Like the 
Gentleman, his lightning 
gun does all its damage 
in one shot — and you 
can’t block his gun or 
the flamer either. Other characters’ 
damage is divided among each bullet 
from their multi-shot weapons and can 
be blocked. 



Thug: Sure, he’s 
dumber than a 
crowbar and twice 
as ugly, but he also 
has the most 
powerful weapon and the longest life 
meter. You don’t get a trenchcoat 
or trendy ponytail, but you survive.

Zap the first node to reveal a set of 
silver keys at point 1 , then grab the set 
gold keys to get into the bonus area at 
point 2. Also, watch out for the Stone 
Golem guarding the nodes at the exit — 
he takes more than one shot to kill.

When you reach the bridge at you can grab the gold key and head back 
north, or leave and continue south. Each route has a node, and it’s 
impossible to activate them both. North is a little tougher, but also has more 
bonus items. 

To activate the last node at 5, 
either drop a bomb into the pit or 
grab the gold key to the east. The 
Golem that comes out of the pit 
moves extremely fast for a guy made

Take the south road at 1 , then kill all the monsters along the north 
route to open the path to the gold key. Be sure to kill the Lobber 
to the left of the stairs at 2 to open the bonus area to the north. 

You’re surrounded by Chaos Beetles at — grab the dynamite to 
destroy them, then watch out for frogs as you get the gold rings. 

Be on the lookout for a face on one of the columns after getting 
the gold key at 4 — it opens the bonus area to the east. 

The ring at 5 moves the silver keys from the top of the rock. The last of the six gold keys 
in this level is at point 7. It opens exit B to a bonus area on the next level; you can reach 
it only if you have all the gold keys.

Exit B in level 3 leads to the southeast corner 
bonus area here. Shoot the block at 1 to open a 
path to the bonus items on the northern wall — 
but you miss the rest of the level if you go that way. 
The cave at point 2 looks dangerous, but it 
teleports you to the bonus area in the southwest. 

The node in the pit at 3 can be activated either 
by dropping a bomb down there or grabbing the 
node-activator icon. Keep moving if you use the 
icon — a whole crowd of Lobbers starts dropping 
stuff on you! You can shoot either of the two 
blocks at 4, but not both. The one to the right 
holds a gold key that opens stairs to the bonus 
area behind you.

It can be just a little nerve-wracking to face one of 
wrestling's most grueling and brutal events. It's 
an event that determines the strongest, fiercest, 
meanest wrestler ever — it's King of the Ring. 

This Game Boy action title has only one pur- 
pose: to pit wrestler against wrestler, man against 
man, beast against beast — with no holds barred. 
So who's it going to be? Are you going to play as 
6'8" Hulk Hogan? Massive Yokozuna? How about 
"Hit Man" Bret Hart? It doesn't matter because 
there are a tons of giants from which to choose, 
including one you can create from scratch. 

Besides the King of the Ring tournament, this 
game offers one-on-one matches, tag-team bouts, 
and the World Wrestling Federation Champion- 
ship Belt tournament in which you battle seven 
opponents. 

So are you a king ... or a wimp? If your heart 
races at the sight of a beautiful body slam or a 
textbook pin, then King of the Ring is your key to 
hours of fun.

IthoughTom and Jerry: The Movie 

is obviously adapted from last summer's 
cartoon feature — in which cat and 
mouse finally joined together to destroy 
a third enemy — it seems more firmly 
rooted in the original cat-bash-mouse ad- 
ventures. Sure, the game opens with a storyline in which 
Tom tries to beat Jerry to an old treasure chest, but the plot 
is just an excuse for the sort of senseless violence kids 
expect on Saturday morning TV. 

But the game designers realized something the 
movie's producers now wish they'd caught on to: 
Senseless violence is exactly what 
gamers want. We don't need 
to hear T om and J erry 
speak — we just want 
to see them chasing 
each other like mani- 
acs. We don't want a 
story — we just want 
to see Tom blown to 
smithereens. 

Tom and Jerry suc- 
ceeds in capturing that Saturday morning 
spirit in a couple of ways. First of all, the 
graphics (although not necessarily the ani- 
mation) actually look like cartoon fare. Sec- 
ondly, the whole game is just a hectic cat and 
mouse chase. Although it's pretty violent, 

Tom returns unscathed after every explo- 
sion or other near-death experience. 

Unfortunately, the traps and pitfalls 
show a general lack of creativity. Bombs 
and land mines are cool in themselves, but 
an occasional "tail in the electrical socket" 
trap would be appreciated. Even more im- 
portantly, the game player plays Tom the 
hapless instead of Jerry the cunning. While 
you may get some satisfaction out of turn- 
ing Jerry into Cat Chow (although not as 
much as watching, say, the Roadrunner get 
his), it seems ridiculous that the game would 
be the exact opposite of the cartoon. 


Tom has a chance to 
uncover ancient treasure 
— but he must beat 
Jerry to it! 

The pounce [B button] is helpful 
as you move from platform to 
platform. In general, however, 
use it only if you have a clear 
shot at nabbing Jerry.

Tom to avoid the bouncing

two basic at- 
tacks is laging

over these or

them to explode.

Jerrg can also toss bombs back- 
ward. If gou’re far enough behind, 
gou can stop before the bomb 
reaches gou. 



Keep running when gou 
reach the cannons. IVlost 


of them fire harmlesslg 
over gour head — unless 
gou stop. 




Brooms move back for a few seconds, 
then brieflg stop. You can pass them 
safely as long as they aren't moving. 



Tom’s biggest obstacles in 
level 3 are flying fish 
that keep jumping in his 
way. Use the normal jump 
as soon as they hit the 
water. 




The mushrooms in 
the level-4 forest are 
particularly danger- 
ous because they 
create a spread-fire 
effect. To avoid 
getting hit, run to 
the mushrooms’ 
original position, 
allowing the debris 
to fall on either side.

You’ve got to hit the correct 
switches at the correct times 
to survive the final level. Make 
a wrong move, and gou’re 
prevented from grabbing much- 
needed heart jars. 


•g? 

Q@iM4 


If you don’t catch Jerrg before he 
finishes a level, you must face a 
boss. The first is a bulldog that 
guards Jerry. Lure him into the 
hole to the left, then jump over 
it to nab Jerry. 


Evil bats swarm around your 
head after the fourth level. Try 
to avoid them as you make your 
way toward the upper left corner. 
The switch there controls the 
platform over Jerry’s head. Flip 
the switch, then head back down 
— you’re home free. 


The final boss is a skull-tossing 
snake. Use the tried-and-true 
crustacean strategy, but be 
prepared to dodge skulls that fall 
from the ceiling, too. 

GP 


When these two crows 
attack in level two, 
they come at your 
head from either 
direction. Duck to avoid 
them, then pounce on 
Jerry quickly before 
they attack again. 


The third boss is nasty crusta- 
cean that spews pearls. Jump or 
duck to avoid a pearl missile, 
then do the opposite when it 
ricochets off the left wall. If you 
avoid its blow, it blasts the crab 
instead — Five hits, and he’s 
outta there. 


A bonus 
game at the 
end of each 
level lets you 
refill — and 
maybe 
expand — 
your energy 
meter. The 

first is a Pac-Manish maze filled with 
hearts. The bigger the heart, the more 
energy you get. Catch Jerry before 
time runs out, and your meter 
grows by one heart. 


In the second bonus 
game, Jerry moves from 
window to window, ran- 

tossing hearts and 
explosives. If you 
collect enough 
hearts before 
you overdo it 
with explosives, 
your energy 
meter is filled and 
expanded by one 
heart.

After dominating the movie and video 
industry with its recent hits-tumed in- 
stant classics Beauty and the Beast 
and Aladdin, Disney is now trying to 
make its mark in the video game in- 
dustry. 

Virgin Interactive has opened up 
the Disney video vault and used its 
video gaming know-how to produce an 
SNES cart of an earlier Disney ani- 
mated classic, The Jungle Book. In the 
game, young Mowgli explores various 
levels, collecting fruits and gems. Along 
the way, monkeys, snakes, and other 
unfriendly animals try to slow Mowgli’s 
progress. Fortunately, there are also 
friendlier members of the animal king- 
dom that aid the young boy throughout 
his journey. 

Game Players got a sneak peek at 
an early, unfinished version of The 
Jungle Book, and although some as- 
pects of the game may change before 
it hits the shelves, here’s a preview of 
this hot new game. 



A lot of items are hidden, so 
keep a lookout for entrances 
to secret areas. You just may 
find a precious extra life. 


Beware the thorny 
bushes — look above 
them for swinging vines 
to help you get across 
safely. 


Don’t waste any time on these old 
bridges — they crumble beneath 
your feet as soon as you step on 
them. 



These prickly 
little pests give 
you sore feet — 
and they take a 
heart off your

1 If you want to waste a little time, plop down in front of TV or grab the latest 

3 comic book. But if you want to kill time, pick up Time Killers, THQ’s 
translation of the coin-op hit. The characters are smaller and the graphics 
have suffered a little in its journey from the arcade, but little else differs. 

For those of you who don’t know the routine, here’s the story: Blood flows and 
limbs fly in Time Killers, which pits eight warriors from throughout the ages in one- 
on-one matchups. The eras range from 20,000 B.C. to A.D. 4002, and battle-axes, 
chainsaws, and photon blades are among the wielded weapons. Just make sure 
you’re not on the wrong end of these weapons or you’ll find out what fighting someone with 
one arm tied behind your back is like. The only difference is that your arm won’t be tied — 
it’ll be gonel 

As with all good (or bad) fighting games, Time Killers lets you pound your friends in 
a two-player match. You can also take the one-player quest for immortality by facing all 
seven opponents, then a final battle with Death. Defeat Death and live forever

Musashi, a samurai warrior, 
must rely on speed and agility 
to compensate for his lack of 
size. He can dance around his 
competitor while scoring hits 
with his katana and daito 
weapons. 


Lord Wulf wastes no time 
using his sword to remove 
an arm or two. The knight 
can also power-up his 
sword to fire a projectile, 
and his Flying Guillotine 
maneuver speaks for itself. 


If you've pummeled your opponents 
sufficiently, they fall into a stupor. Once the 
star appears overhead, your foe is helpless 
for a period of time.

A collection of quick moves 
makes Orion a tough foe. His 
ability to change directions in 
mid-air keeps opponents 
guessing, until they feel the 
wrath of his electric sabre. 


Rancid is a loner who keeps a 
chainsaw on the ready and has 
the attitude to back it up. His 
attacks are deadly — 
especially when he gets the 
chainsaw swinging while his 
foe’s guard is down. 


Matrix has what’s possibly the 
best attack combination of all 
using a photon blade and bionic

Things were running smoothly throughout the galaxy — until one day.... 

In the year 3076 A.D., planets far from our Solar System are linked by the 
Earth-based galactic network computer system known as “Grayzon." The 
network is protected by an unmanned battlefleet set up by the Galactic Federa- 
tion Force. Bufwhen the fleet suddenly attacks the colonies, the GFF realizes that 
an evil force has taken control of Grayzon. 

Pilots scramble to try to rescue Earth from evil hands — and that’s where you 
come in. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to pilot an SA-77 
“Silpheed” fighter spacecraft to Earth (a 64 light-year journey), defeating evil 
forces along the way and returning order to the Milky Way. 

Silpheed is translated from the popular PC shooter — and we mean 
“shooter.” Consider yourself fortunate if your control pad has an auto-fire 
feature. You won’t want to let up on the fire button until Earth's back in friendly 
hands.

Take a journey to the center of the mind. This 
situation is deadly serious. You are coursing 
through the body of corporate mogul Tiron 
Korsby in search of a brcrin manipulation droid 
planted by a rival company. Time is running 
out and you're forced to play a fast and furious 
game of hide and seek. Waste the droid before 
it wastes Korsby's brctin. 

Surging through veins, arteries, and other body 
organs, you blast attacking viruses and your 
enemies' defensive probes. This struggle for 
control features non stop action, unparalleled 
cinematic style imagery, and incredibly smooth 
gameplay. Over 500 MB of graphic and sound 
data, coupled with an original soundtrack from 
Rick Wakeman brings you the look and feel of a 
true inner-body experience. 


A BRAIN IS A 
TERRIBLE THING 
TO WASTE.

you would be all set. But the truth is/your journey 
will be filled with diabolically chaUetfging puzzles. In 
order to save your sister from the evfl Beast Master 
Zelek, you need to scour Kara-Moon and confront him 
face to face. But, to succeed you must master the 
most deadly weapon: your mind.

and challenging battles. Shadow of the Beast II is not 
your ordinary role playing game, stressing brawn

Tine original AcIRaisenms one of the first SNES 
games, and its gorgeous graphics and ultra- 
coo! soundtrack showed us just how good this 
new 1 6-bit machine could really be. 

Nowthe divine warrior is back! i3ut wouldn't 
you know it, the mega-demon Tanzra is back, 
too, and he's once again threatening the land 
with eternal doom. He's got an even nastier 
assembly of minor demons with him, so don’t 
expect this baffle to be easier than your last. . 

Although the "Sim Village" aspects from 
ActRaiser&e missing in this sequel, the action 
stages of ActRaiser 2 are still top-notch. So 
strap on your wings — it's time to descend into 
the demon-infested countryside to save your 
people once again.

To kill the wacky 
bird, jump up and 


charges down, 
turn away and 
glide, then dive- 
attack as it passes 
under you. 


Cut the legs out from under these 
monsters — if you leave the legs, 
they explode! 


There’s a one-up set into one of the cliffs. 
Grab it, and you can keep playing through 
no matter how often you die! 


! Your wings are your friend. To become airborne, hold 
Right, wait until you’re at the peak of your jump, then 
: start gliding. This is the longest gap you can clear. 













Just stay on the platforms and don’t 
worry about the monsters on the 
shore. After you’ve hit the boss a few 
times, break off and kill the flying 
eyeballs. Ain’t it nasty? 


Don’t bother being subtle with the 
flytrap. Run up and hit it as fast as 
you can — it should die before 
you do. 


Compared to going down the elevator, ; 
going up this tree is a snap! 


Can you make out 
what’s happening 
here? The second 
stage of Modern is 
fought in a giant 
bugs’ nest — 
RAD.? 


The boss, Fatigue, is also pretty 
easy. Jump to hit him, and be 
alert for his enormous inhale of 
breath. Glide away to avoid 
getting hurt, then raise your 
shield to block his shots. 


Buh... big craaa... BIG 
CRAB. Stand on the 
middle leg until its feeler 
stops to shoot, then jump 
to the upper leg and dive- 
attack its eye. Hope you 
brought a few gallons of 
lemon butter.... 


Stand on the deck on the far side of 
the screen until the boss charges, 
then jump up to the platform and 
hit him as he rises, jumping away 
before you get hit. Remember: 
Attack from above, not below! 


Also be careful moving through 
the airship squadron. The 
platforms that carry you across 
can — and will — drop as you 
approach the next ship. 


Fire! Fire! Fire everywhere! Take your time 
moving through this area — there are more 
enemies than you can shake a stick at!

You’ve seen them in cartoons and eating tacos, but check out Rocky and Bullwinkle on 
1 6-bit! In The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends , eight levels stand between 
the famous duo and their treasures. Mini-games starring Dudley Do-Right and Mr. Peabody 
add to the fun. 

The graphics in Rocky and Bullwinkleare average, but what it lacks in pictures, it makes 
up for in challenge. Be preprared for some very hard — sometimes frustratingly so — game 
play. If it weren’t for the mini-games in which you gain extra lives, Moose and Squirrel would 
be foiled by Boris and Natasha for sure!

T] First Soccer Title for EA 

Now that it has mastered football and hockey, Electronic Arts is 
turning its eye toward the world’s most popular sport — soccer. 
FIFA International Soccer is currently inproduction for Genesis. 
The game features 40 international teams, each true to its own 
playing style, and a three-quarter overhead perspective so 
players can see more of the playing field.

U.K.’s Best Soccer Sim Crosses the Pond 


Atlus’s World Soccer ’94: Road 
to Glory is the Super Nintendo 
version of England’s critically 
acclaimed and popular success 
Striker. Created by Elite Systems, 
Soccer ‘94 has got just about ev- 
ery feature you could wish for — 
even an indoor soccer mode! 
What’s even more impressive is 
that the game is only four megs, 
about half the programming space 
of its competitors. But what it 
does in those four megs deals a 
swift kick to other sims. 


take control of, for example, a 
“super” team. 

But once you’ve set your 
lineup and chosen from eight 
formations and six play styles 
(cautious, aggressive, and so 
on), you can select Super Cup 
play, all 64 squads in a single- 
elimination tournament; World 
Knockout, pitting 8, 16, 32, or 
64 teams in a three-to-six round 
contest (one loss equals elimi- 
nation); World League, up to 64 



The top-flight sound 
effects are also a 
highlight — espe- 
cially the roars of the 
frenzied crowd. You 
can also customize a 
team, changing the 
uniform, hair color, 
skin tone, and play- 
ers’ names. 

If there’s a 
drawback to World Cup Soccer 
’94: Road to Glory, it’s with its 
graphics. Since 
you can only do 
so much with 
four megs of 
programming 
space, the play- 
ers are small 
and fairly non- 
descript.

It’s this last option that’ s unique

Sports Illustrated Football/Baseball 



THQ offers sports fans a 
“twofer” this year — as in 
two-for-the-price-of-one. 
Sports Illustrated Football / 
Baseball is two eight-meg 
games crammed onto one 
cartridge. 

THQ tried this once be- 
fore: Does anyone remem- 


ber the somewhat ill-fated Bo 
Jackson Football/Baseball for 
NES and Game Boy? Probably 
not. But not to worry — Sports 
Illustrated is luckily in another 
class. For one thing, the game 
was designed by THQ’s new de- 
velopment partner, Malibu Inter- 
active (led by sports veteran Bob 


Jacobs). Malibu’ s previous games 
include Cal Ripken Baseball for 
SNES and Genesis, David 
Robinson Supreme Court Bas- 
ketball for Genesis, and the TV 
Sports products for TurboGrafx- 
16. 

The football portion of Sports 
Illustrated features all the NFL 
franchises in the 1993 schedule 
— - but don’t look for your favor- 
ite players. Thegamedoesn’thave 
a players’ license. It does, how- 
ever, have a fairly unique per- 
spective, a three-quarter overhead 
view similar to Nintendo’s Super 
Play Action Football. When a 


ballcarrier breaks away from the 
pack, the screen zooms in for a 
closeup. The Sports Illustrated 
players are smaller than those in 
Super Play Action , but they’re 
much more realistically animated. 



The baseball half of the game 
looks and plays a little like Cal 
Ripken Baseball , with a behind- 



the-batter perspective that shifts 
to a bird’ s-eye three-quarter view 
to follow the ball. Once again, all 
the Major League franchises are 
included — even the new Florida 
and Colorado teams — but none 
of the players is around. 

Sports Illustrated Baseball/ 
Football features full-season play 
for both sports and a password 
system to save your progress. It 
should hit stores before the end of 
the year. 

For Super NES from 
Malibu Interactive (distributed 
by THQ); 5016 North Parkway 
Calabasas; Suite 100; Cala- 
basas, CA 91302. 


NFL Quarterback Club 



Licensing has come to play a 
major role in the design of a 
sports simulation. If a company 
adds a league license (i.e., the 
NHL, NBA, etc.), its game can 
include the uniforms, team 
names, and league schedules. If 
a players’ association such as 
the NHLPA is added, the de- 
velopers can use names and like- 
nesses of actual players. 

However, the NFL Quar- 
terback Club, which lists among 
its members the best QBs in 
football — Aikman, Cunning- 


ham, Elway, Kelly, Moon, and 
Y oung, for example — is sepa- 
rate from the NFLPA license, 
creating a major pain for com- 



panies trying to develop a real- 
istic gridiron simulation. 

Acclaim nabbed the QB 
Club for its latest sports effort, 
then turned to those program- 
ming Aussies, the team at Beam 
Software (they also developed 
Acclaim’s so-so NBA All-Star 
Challenge). NFL Quarterback 
Club is an overall enjoyable 
title for Game Boy, but it’s 


fairly simplistic, and in the long 
run, it doesn’t have much to do 
with football at all. 

In the four-part competi- 
tion of Quarterback Club, hu- 
man players can control up to 
six of the QBs. Each quarter- 
back accumulates points in the 
four contests, and the player 
with the most points at the end 
walks off with 30,000 video- 
game dollars. Individual prizes 
are also awarded to the top per- 
formers in each category. 

Here’ s how the four events 
break out: the Accuracy com- 
petition tests your ability to hit 
six targets — one stationary 
and five moving. It’s not hard 
to master this event, since the 
distance to each target is easily 
gauged by a horizontal meter at 
the bottom of the screen. The 
Speed and Mobility contest is 
an obstacle course that has your 



QB ducking a chin-up bar, run- 
ning cones, tackling a dummy, 
jumping a wall, then tossing a 
football at a stationary target. 
This is definitely the least inter- 
esting event: the quarterbacks 
seem to have the same running 
speeds (which is sure not true in 
real life!), so winning comes 
down to hitting a bull’s-eye for 
a time bonus. 

The button-bashing Dis- 
tance competition has you 
thumping on the A and B but- 
tons to make a meter rise so 
your QB can throw the ball far-

much skill. Read and Recogni-

racy event. Four targets move

two and you’re penalized 
points. 

NFL Quarterback Club has 
only average graphics and mu-

able — especially if several 
folks play together. It’s big 
problem, however, is that 
there’ sjust not much to it. After 
only five minutes of game play,

Super Baseball 2020 


You’ve heard of the aluminum 
bat controversy in baseball. How 
about an aluminum player con- 
troversy? Super Baseball 2020 
is a game for men of metal in 
which money makes the league 
go ‘round. 



Electronic Arts’s Genesis 
version of this NEO-GEO 
game comes on the heels of the 
SNES game from Tradewest 
(see August, Vol. 6, No. 8). 
The only difference in the two 
is that EA includes the “crack- 
ers” of the original game — 
the land mines placed on the 
field. You get more and more 
crackers in each inning, begin- 
ning with the second. 

Don’t expect the strategy 
of a traditional baseball simu- 
lation in Super Baseball 2020 
— it’s more of a power-hitting 
contest in which each batter 
tries to blast the ball over the 
center-field fence. Center field 
is the only place where a pow- 
erful drives counts as a homer; 
left and right field are consid- 


ered “in-play,” as is a good por- 
tion of the seating areas by first 
and third bases. 

Two leagues of six teams 
do battle during a 15 -game sea- 
son. Your team can have hu- 
mans, robots, or a mixture of 
both. The teams earn money for 
each good move — runs, field- 
ing plays, strike-outs, and so 
on. It’ s up to you how to use the 
money to power-up your play- 
ers. You can boost the power, 
fielding (speed), or pitching 



ability of any human player, or 
replace any robot with a more 
powerful model. 

Like most NEO-GEO 
games, Super Baseball 2020 
had spectacular graphics. The 
SNES version duplicated them 
perfectly, but the Genesis game 
doesn’tfare as well. The graph- 
ics seem washed out and 
vaguely unfocused, but the 
frantic, electronic music and 
bizarre robo-announcer voices 
remain true to the original. 



Even if you’re a simulator 
purest who frowns on “frivo- 
lous” sports games, you should 
give Super Baseball 2020 a try. 
It’s mindless sports mayhem 
that’s a lot of fun to play.

tronic Arts; 1450 Fashion Is-

NHL ‘94 


It comes as no surprise to sports- 
games fans that Electronic Arts 
is better at creating Genesis 
games than SNES. A conversa- 
tion with some EA program- 
mers sheds some light on the 
subject: The consensus is that 
Genesis is simply an easier 
machine to work on, while Su- 
per Nintendo is, to quote an EA 
producer, “a major pain.” 

That helps explain why 
NHL Hockey and John Madden 
Football are Genesis classics 
while the SNES translations of 
the same games have been only 


average, with spotty ani- 
mation and poor game play . 

But EA seems to have 
solved most of its SNES 
problems with NHL ‘94, 
which isn’t as fantastic as 
the Genesis version ... but 
it’s closer than ever before. 
NHL ‘94 has goalie con- 
trol, penalty shots, a shoot-out 
mode, individualized rink mu- 
sic, and an NHL license. But 
most importantly, NHL ‘94 
moves almost as smoothly on 
Super NES as it does on Gen- 
esis. 


The SNES NHL ‘94 differs 
from the Genesis version be- 
cause it doesn’t have a battery 
backup — you must enter a 
lengthy password instead — and 
you can’t save stats, either, 
which is a major bummer. But 


170 










on the plus side, the colorful 
SNES player profiles look much 
better than the Genesis’s B&W 
ones, and the sound effects, from 
the crunch of hard-board checks 
to the slash of steel blades on 
ice, are superior. 

Many of the same new fea- 
tures of the Genesis game are 
found in the SNES NHL ‘94, 
too. For example, the NHL li- 
cense really enhances the look 
of the game, with accurate home 


After several average attempts 
at high-quality sports simula- 
tions for Genesis, Sega of 
America has gotten serious. 
Gone are the days of sub-par 
efforts that feature a big-ticket 
athlete and nothing more. Nowa- 
days, the “Sega Sports” brand 
marks a commitment to realistic 
16-bit sports. We hope. 



Sega’s first effort under the 
Sega Sports banner is 
Wimb ledon, a one-to-four player 
(simultaneous, with five-player 
adaptor) tennis simulation. Ten- 
nis isn’t usually what compa- 
nies pick to launch a new sports 
lineup, but Sega’s taking extra 
care with some of its “money” 
titles, such as World Series Base- 
ball, NBA Action Hosted By 
Marv Albert, and NFL Football 
'94 Starring Joe Montana. So 
Wimbledon bears the burden of 
the first Sega Sports seal. 


G P SPORTS 



and away uniforms and full- 
color team logos. The NHL li- 
cense also means that the fight- 
ing has been removed and re- 
placed with harder checking, 
including board and bench 
checks. 

Other new features include 
manual goalie control, penalty 
shots, and a special shoot-out 
game. On offense you have two 
new weapons at your disposal 



— “flip passes” that let you pass 
the puck through the air up ice, 
and the “one-timer” pass to an 
open teammate, who catches 
and shoots the puck in one quick 
motion. 

Electronic Arts wasn’t able 
to create a smoothly animated 
John Madden for Super NES 
until its third try, and NHL ‘94 is 
only its second time at bat, so to 
speak. But much of the kinks 


Wimbledon 


Several innovations in 
Wimbledon indicate that the Sega 
sports gurus are serious when 
they make their ambitious claims 
about upcoming titles . These five 
unusual options can be turned 
on or off before each match be- 
gins, and they really enhance the 
game. For example, the Color 
Signal alters the hue of the ten- 
nis ball, helping you make the 
precise shots. Dynamic Sizing 
gives the ball a 3-D look by 
increasing or decreasing its size 
as it rises and falls — an espe- 
cially important option since dif- 
ferent court surfaces result in 
different types of bounce. 

A Timing Chime pings the 
moment a ball clears the net. 
This should _ 
help you time Bj 
your swing, I 
but the action I 
moves pretty H 
quickly, so if s I 
often not ef- I 
fective. The I 
Bound Pointer 
is more helpful, placing a mark 
where a hit ball should bounce. 
Since your view of Wimbledon 
is slightly higher above the play- 
ers than in most sims, this helps 
you set up for your return shot. 



But Wimbledon’s coolest 
innovation is its Locus Display, 
which shows the flight path of 
every volley or serve. The flight 
path is shown as a green, ghostly 
image — a chain of luminescent 
orbs that extends from the racket, 
over the net, to the other side of 
the court. It also indicates how 
high the bounce will be. 

While Wimbledon doesn’t 
offer the broad array of shots 
that some Super Nintendo titles 
do, its game play is more than 
their equal. Even using all the 
helpful enhancements, you’ve 
got a tough challenge against 
computer players. Graphically, 
the players are on the small side, 
but they’re quite detailed. 

There’s a good se- 
lection of players — 
24 in all — playing 
at ten skill levels and 
rated in six catego- 
ries. A password sys- 
tem lets you save

NHLPA Hockey ‘93, and SNES 
owners finally have a hockey 
simulation that rivals the Gen- 
esis counterpart.

Gomez starts with five lives, but 
he can sustain only two hits before 
dying. You can banish most mon- 
sters by jumping on them, but watch 
out for the ones with spikes — you 
can get rid of them, but it costs you an 
energy heart. And remember that 
when you leave a board and return, 
so do the monsters. 

What could have turned out to 
be a boring Mario clone is actually an 
interesting and challenging game. 
The Addams Family has a lot of vari- 
ety, and it's complex without being 
impossible. Those Addamses may 
be spooky and kooky, but this game 
is just plain fun. 


Ambigail Craven has Uncle Fester 
under her spell — literally! The witch 
has bewitched Fester into helping 
her kidnap the rest of the Addams 
family, with the exception of Gomez. 
Now it's up to him to save the rest of 
the family — and the family fortune 
— from Abigail's clutches.

MINDSCAPE 
SUPER NES 



Captain America 
and the Avengers 


60 Leveroni Court; 
Novato, CA 94949 



laptain America and the Avengers 
is pretty basic when compared to 
other recent comic-book based 
games (i.e., the awesome X-Men for 
Genesis). The Cap'n and his crew 
roam the streets, beating up on both 
’ small-time crooks and bona fide su- 
per villains, all of whom are under 
the control of the infamous Red Skull. 
It's Double Dragon city, but on the 
whole, the game works well for sev- 
eral reasons. 

For example, the guys at 
Mindscape have gone out of their 
way to inject the game with an old- 
time comic-book feel. From the open- 
ing straight-from-the-comics expo- 
sition screen to the heroes' patriotic 
zest, you get the impression that 
you're participating in a giant parody 
of the comic-book world of yester- 
year in which even the digitized nar- 
rator has a perfect voice for such 
inspired cominess. 


Cool 

Move #1: 

The Jumping Attack. Press B to jump, Y for the 
regular attack, then use the directional button to 
attack from above. Here’s a powerful drop kick. 

attacks in competition with a fellow 
avenger controlled by a second 
player. 

Captain America does suffer from 
a few flaws: The occasional slow- 
down doesn't hurt game play, but it 
does add to the overall "rough around 
the edges" impact of the game. Also, 
initiating a special attack is 
much too complicated — if you 
ended up with a Mortal Kombat 
finishing move, then it would 
be worth the effort, but the ba- 
sic slide or charge in Captain 
America should have been 
given its own button. 


Hawkeye battles 
the bad guys 
with powerful 
explosive 
arrows. 


Cool Move #2: Toss 
that Peon. Lesser 
villains can be des- 
troyed by slamming 
them against the 
concrete. Get 
directly beside 
them, pick them 
up with the Y 
button, then hit 
Y again to 
throw them. 




Iron Man and Vision share the ability 
to fire energy bursts when you hit 
the A button. 


The laser-blasting 
boys can also do the 
r flight thing. Combine 
the two by jumping, 
then pressing A to 
fire while hovering 
in midair. 






Activate the 
heroes’ special 
weapons with 
the A button. Captain America demonstrates 
his boomerang shield. 


If you perform this laser-flight move 
during a particularly high jump, the 
laser blasts at an angle. 


And although the combat is fairly 
generic, the boys are equipped with 
enough special moves to keep it in- 
teresting. It's still a far cry from Street 
Fighter II, but the choice of attacks 
combined with the choice of charac- 
ters adds enough strategy to make 
Captain America more interesting 
than the usual street-fighting games. 
There's even a training mode that 
allows you to practice your special 



- 

Hawkeye also has the best special at- 
tack. To perform his killer slide, press 
and hold A, launch yourself into a 
forward run, then tap A again when 
you near the other side of the screen.

I hey couldn't leave you hanging 
any longer — would they or wouldn't 
they? Well, they did. Last summer's 
highest-flying action/adventure is 
now an SNES game. In Cliffhanger, 
you play Gabe Walker, a Rocky 
Mountain rescue ace, whose sole 
quest is to save your friends and 
pulverize the megalomaniac Qualen 
and his band of crazed fugitives. 

Cliffhanger is a typical beat-up- 
the-bad-guys game, with seven lev- 
els of action that basically follow the 
movie's plot. You're searching for 
three metal cases that together con- 
tain $100 million in cold cash. Once 
you have them, you can trade the 
money for the lives of your friends. 
Of course, you've got plenty of com- 
petition as you search for the money.... 


Using a knife increases your attack 
power, but you can get in first licks 
by throwing it, too. 


Although the Sylvester Stallone 
movie was full of action, the SNES 
game doesn't live i 
T he play control is 
you lose all your lives, you 
continuing from back at 
ning of the level instead of 
you died. You can't save 
progress, either, so Cliffhanger gets 
frustrating fast. It looks good, but 
you just climb, run, shoot, and jump 
ravines. Maybe you should just rent 
the movie instead. 


These snipers fire in two-shot sequences. 
Try to time your movements and attack 
between blasts. 


And don’t forget that flying kick! 


The super-kick is your best 
defensive and offensive move, 
but use it sparingly — it really 
drains your energy. 


You get the weapons of the bad guys you 
beat up. For the best results, try to get your 
hands on a gun. 


Don’t stop when tailed by bats or 
an avalanche — just run and jump 
as fast as you can.

Don’t panic 
if you don’t 
have a good 
weapon as 
you face the 
boss. Simply 
wait for him 
to crack his 
whip, move 
in for a quick strike, then quickly back off. It’s 
time consuming, but effective. 



Dram Stoker's Dracula is loosely 
based on last fall's spooky movie 
extravaganza: As you may recall, that 
yuppie of yesteryear, Jonathan 
Harker, tries to rescue his fiancee 
from the evil fangs of Count Dracula. 

This video game shares the 
movie's locales and primary villains, 
but it really doesn't follow the plot. 
In fact, the only consistent reminder 
of the game's inspiration is the video- 
game hero's resemblance to his big- 
screen counterpart, Keanu Reeves. 
But most game veterans will recog- 
nize a much larger resemblance to 
another vampire classic — the 
Castlevania games. Dracula follows 
the game play and atmosphere of 
that series almost shamelessly. Well, 
OK, Genesis needs a Castlevania 
game, and Bloodlines is still a few 
weeks away. 



Facing another boss unprepared? 
This dragon pauses his fire-breathing 
after every third blast. Attack 
accordingly. 


Energy refills are few and far between, so be 
sure to search thoroughly for the few 
available. Look for this flask in a secret room 
behind a wall on the second level. 


You’re chased by a 
trio of demon- 
possessed women 
after you face the 
dragon. Move as 
quickly as possible, 
but don’t forget to 
watch for spikes. 


Time to face old Dracul. His 
formula: stand still, shoot 
downward, shoot across. 

Your formula: attack, jump 
on left platform, return 
quickly to lower platform. 




to cut through the cord holding up this 
weight. Return to the bottom of the board 
to find the new passageway. 


Open a secret trap 
door to locate the 
helpful monk. Move 
to the top right-hand 
comer of the room, 
then use your sword 


Unfortunately, Dracula 
may look like Castlevania, 
but it has so many rough 
edges that it'll cut ya if 
you're not careful. In ad- 
dition to the unpolished sound and 
graphics, here's an example of game 
play: During much of the game, you 
must locate various special weap- 
ons that make boss-bashing 
easier. If you're killed in the 
middle of a level, however, you 
probably won't get the chance to 
nab the special weapon, so you 
end up losing more lives fight- 
ing the boss. That makes a con- 
tinue feature more annoy- 
ing than helpful. Combine 
that with an illogical dam- 
age system (step on a 
mouse, lose one container; 
impale yourself on a giant 
spike, lose one container) 
and several other minor 
grievances, and you come 
up with a game that just isn't as good 
as it should have been.

^Although King of the Monsters has 
been around in various video-game 
formats (a sequel is already out), this 
is the first Genesis version. The plot, 
however, is the same: four super- 
monsters fight each other while be- 
ing attacked by airplanes, tanks, and 
other weapons of war. Think of it as 
a Street Fighter game crossed with an 
old Godzilla vs. Rathadon- style B 
movie. 

While that might sound like 
cheesy fun, the problem with King of 
the Monsters is that these monsters 
just aren't very interesting. Instead 
of quality B-movie antiheroes, you've 
got guys who look like they were 
rejected at The Avengers tryouts and 
went on a city-wide rampage in re- 
venge. 

What's more, once you peel off 
the warts and scales, the fighters are 
all the same. Sure, Beetle-Mania 
might perform an Atomic drop in- 
stead of a mere back-drop like the 
rest of the crew, but none of the 
characters really takes on a distinct 
personality. The individual scenes 
have that same sense of sameness. 
When you reach the final city, To- 
kyo, for example, it looks like just 
another generic city that happens to 
have an occasional hint of Japanese 
architecture. 



Choose one 
of four 
monsters, 
then fight 
against a 
friend or the 
computer. 





Close in on 
your enemy, 
then press 
Down and A 
for a killer 
suplex. 


That generic quality goes for the 
technical aspects as well — espe- 
cially in the graphics. If one blue guy 
is fighting another, it can be hard to 
tell where monster A ends and mon- 
ster B begins. By the same token, the 
mundane music could drive you 
bonkers. And for a fighting game. 
King of Monsters has only the stan- 
dard moves you've seen a thousand 
times before. 


Simultaneously press the C and A buttons to 
drop-kick your opponent. 


Geon’s power weapon is the Flame 
Crusher — a stream of flame sure to take 
out anything in its path. 


Beetle- 
Mania fires 
Beetle 
Missiles. 


Astro Guy fires powerful Flash 
Waves, which distinguish them- 
selves from Flame Crushers by 
their blueness. 


Rocky can crush 
opponents with his 
Rocky Bomber — a 
truly powerful 
weapon that bears 
many similarities to 
ordinary rock. 


Push Up and A to pile drive your 
opponent into the concrete.

\A/ith the fall of the Soviet Union, 
military superpowers are forced to 
slash their budgets, resulting in a 
huge surplus of advanced 
hardware. High-tech weap- 
ons are soon appearing for 
sale on the international 
black market, and an un- 
known power has used the 
all-too-available hardware 
to attack a Middle Eastern 
country. It's your job to en- 
gage the enemy and destroy 
his forces. 

Even though air-combat simula- 
tions have evolved to a shockingly 
real level, the good old-fashioned 
Afterburner arcade-style fighter 
games have survived. Lock On has 
taken this an extra step: combining 
air combat with ground-attack strike 
missions. The pace is fast, and there 
are always plenty of bogies at which 
to shoot. 

Lock On is tough at first — there 
are 22 enemies to destroy in your 
very first mission — but once you get 
the hang of the weapon systems, you 
should be knocking 'em out of the 
sky. You're given a choice between 
two aircraft at the beginning of each 
mission, and you can also adjust the 
number of missiles with which your 
plane is equipped. You probably 
won't need extra, however; there's 
, an awful lot of ordnance slung under 
your wing. Since there's no pass- 
word feature, be sure to use the op- 
tion screen and load up on credits 
before you begin.

If you've always dreamed of racing 
vehicles across pool tables, school 
desks, and bathtubs, then hold on to 
your helmet — welcome to Micro 
Machines. Who needs hot asphalt 
when you can race through your 
house as one of 11 different racers in 
oneofnine different Micro Ma- 
chines on 32 different tracks? 

There's no way you're going to 
tire from this game! 

You can race in the Chal- 
lenge level against all the rac- 
ers, or you can go head-to-head 
with a friend. There are even 
bonus time trials if you're good 
enough to place first in three 
different races. Oil slick: to be avoided. 

Unlike a lot of video games based 
on toys. Micro Machines is original, 
fun, humorous, and colorful. Since 
you can set the drivers' handicaps, 
you can decide how much challenge 
you want, and increase the skill level 
as you gain practice. But here's just a 
little advice: don't slip in the milk, 
that ruler is probably a bridge, and 
watch out for those bubbles! 


You sink and lose 
time if you fall in the 
water during this 
bonus stage. 


Cross the 
ruler, but 
watch out — 
it’s easy to 
drive off its 
edge. 


Bubbles cost you precious seconds, but 
you can gain time if you push your 
opponent into them.

Ms Pierre le Chef, you're about to 
prepare your famous soup — when 
all your ingredients decide to make a 
run for it. You're only choice is to 
chase after your food to 
save your recipe from 
disaster. 

You travel through 
48 levels in six countries 
armed only with a big 
net and a massive appe- 
tite. Once you've 
stunned, jumped, or cor- 
nered a vegetable or 
other ingredient, you can put it in a 
cage for safekeeping. Get rid of the 
particularly nasty vegetables before 
they make mincemeat out of you! 

Specialty items such as wooden 
spoons, flaming flambe, or magic 
aprons add spice to Out to Lunch, 
and secret bonuses and hidden lev- 
els are sweet to find. There's also a 
one- or two-player option and a high- 
score table that keeps track of the 
lead chef. 

The only downfall in Out to Lunch 
is that the play control is a little weak — 
a big disadvantage when you spend 
your time chasing things. It's also dif- 
ficult to judge your distance from the 
various food items. If you get too close, 
you're knocked down and drop all the 
food you've collected. 

But Out to Lunch has a great game 
concept, and you have to admire the 
designers for its fun, but nonviolent 
theme. It 7 s fun to chase after food that 
doesn't follow a set pattern, but in- 
stead runs from you with some intelli- 
gence. Out to Lunch lets you play with 
your food and not get in trouble for it! 


The snowmen in this bonus world want 
you to have a ball! 



If you find these bells, ring each 
one once (starting from the left), 
then grab the giant snowflake to 
enter a secret warp.

ust when you thought driver's 
education taught you all you really 
need to know behind the wheel.... 

You learned to stay in your lane, 
keep a safe distance behind the car in 
front of you, and, most importantly, 
never, ever speed. 

Well, you'd better roll 
down the window 
and throw out that 
driver's ed mentality 
if you expect to get the most out of 
Race Drivin'. This Genesis cart is the 
home version of the arcade hit, but 
without the arcade's realistic steer- 
ing wheel, pedals, and stick shift. 
Since you use only a normal control- 
ler, putting the car through its paces 
takes quite a bit more dexterity — 
especially when choosing to shift 
the car manually. 

Although cruising along at 
speeds reaching 140 mph may give 
you quite a rush, colliding head-on 
with an oncoming 18-wheeler 
may not have the same effect. 
And taking a corkscrew at over 
120 mph may be exhilarating, but 
one wrong move could be the 
equivalent of bungee- jumping 
without a cord. You get to relive 
all the fiery wrecks on instant 
replay, which takes you out of the 
driver's seat to give you an aerial 
view of the scene. 

Precious seconds are added to 



the clock as you pass vari- 
ous track checkpoints, 
but if you run out of time, 
your car dies in mid- 
vroom. Another timer 
keeps track of your lap 
time — if you beat the 
qualifying time on either the origi- 
nal or the super-stunt track, you're 
challenged by that track's defending 
champion. Beat him, and you be- 
come the champ. 

In general. Race Drivin' doesn't 
capture the realism and excitement 
of its arcade counterpart. But for arm- 
chair racers, it's worth your time to 
buckle up and give it a test drive. 



the super-stunt track and heading for the 
corkscrew, make sure your car is centered in 
the right lane, then hold down the accelerator 
until you reach flat land again. Be ready for a 
sharp left turn when you leave the cork- 
screw.... 



Hop into a roadster, sportster, or speedster 
— whichever suits your fancy. Each car 
offers automatic or manual transmission. 






Slow down for turns by tapping - 
not holding — the brakes. 


Use the speed- 
limit signs before 
1 jumps and loops 
to know how 
much to speed 
up or slow down. 




Beat the qualifying time to earn a shot at 
racing the track championship.

Lightbulbs flash at 
Konami and a new 
hero is born — 
Sparkster the 
Rocket Knight!!! 




■Xonami has struck gold with one of 
its best 16-bit titles yet. Rocket Knight 
Adventures. As wily opossum 
Sparkster, it's up to you to lead the 
Rocket Knights into battle against 
the evil forces of Emperor Devotindos 
and Axle Gear, the Black Knight. 
These guys have terrorized the king- 
dom of Zebulos and taken its prin- 
cess hostage. Is there no end to their 
villainy? 

The game play in Rocket Knight 
is reminiscent of early 8-bit hits such 
as Capcom's Mega Man. There's a 
fresh challenge around every comer 
— the game never lags in any one 
place long enough to become tiring 
or repetitious. As in many action 
titles, much of the game's suc- 
cess rests on its star character. Is 
he easy to control? Is he well 
animated? Does he possess 
unique abilities that add to the ^ 
overall structure of the game? - 
Sparkster's answer is "yes" in 8 
every case — plus he's one good- 
lookin' possum. 

Rocket Knight Adventures gives 
you the classic game play that estab- 
lished Konami back in the early days 
of video games, as well as the 16-bit 
graphics and state-of-the-art technol- 
ogy of today. Now all we need is a 
Sparkster/Simon Belmont team-up!

Flying stages add 
variety by 
incorporating 
traditional shooter 
game play. 


Rocket Knight’s

S pellcraft , as the name implies, is a 
role-playing game with heavy em- 
phasis on building experience and 
using magical spells. At the begin- 
ning of the game, you're introduced 
to Garwayen, a great wizard, who 
immediately informs you he's picked 
you as his successor when he retires. 
To this end, you must travel through 
Valoria to learn magical abilities. 

As Speller aft progresses, you dis- 
cover formulas for a multitude of 
spells, as well as the various ele- 
ments and materials you must com- 
bine to make the magic work. Unfor- 
tunately, evil monster types are 
prevalent, and they'd love to see you 
fail.

Combat is handled in semi real- 
time — similar to the interface in 
Electronic Arts 'Immortal (and other 
games). Basically, you're on-screen 
with your opponent and can dodge 
his blows or lunge with one of your 
own. Most enemies can be defeated 
if you master a certain combination 
of dodges and blows. This may be 
appreciated by action fans, but role- 
players may prefer the menu-strat- 
egy arrangements more common to 
true RPGs. 

As a whole, Spellcraft is a good 
game, but it's fairly generic. The cook- 
book approach to spellcasting is bet- 
ter than the overly complicated meth- 
ods used by lots of magic-oriented 
RPGs, but that's really the game's 
only original element. Spellcraft de- 
pends on a dated gaming concept 
that just can't compete with more up- 
to-date RPGs. However, there aren't 
that many RPGs for Super N intendo, 
so Spellcraft's release is worth cel- 
ebration for that fact alone.

Las Vegas, NV 89119 


Dorothy’s primary weapons are jewels and 
yellow bricks that she throws at her 
enemies. Her supply is limited, though, so 
use them sparingly. 


" ■ orget the classic L. Frank Baum 
& books — this video game is strictly 
based on the equally classic 1939 film. 
Since the average viewer has had the 
pleasure of watching that particular 
movie at least 56 times, it should be 
. obvious what to expect in a video- 
game adaptation. Unfortunately, this 
title doesn't quite make the trek down 
the yellow brick road. 

The problem with The Wizard of 

■ Oz is that if it's going to be based on 

■ the movie, it should stick to the plot. 

■ The action that follows Dorothy is 
obvious filler, while the real action 

mJM scenes — such as the tornado that 
H brings her to Oz — are used only as 
■BH an intro sequence. By the same to- 
W ken, Dorothy's visit in Munchkin 
Br Land is reduced to one scene in 
V which you invade Munchkin homes 

and fight their furniture while col- 
^ lecting jewels to throw at frogs and 
lemons (!). 

The Wizard of Oz also manages 
l to fall short in the technical depart- 
ij m ment. It takes some effort, for ex- 
ample, to recognize the songs used 
in the soundtrack, despite the fact 
that it's one of the most recognized 
musicals ever. The notes are there, 
but the hollow-sounding instrumen- 
tation results in an overly muddy 
PPP sound that only gets worse if you 
s connect the SNES to a quality stereo. 
% , The simple fact of the matter is 
^ that this cart doesn't take advantage 
jKL either of the SNES capabilities or the 
* movie on which it's based. It's not a 
V- ' bad game, per se, but with the mate- 

B || rial Seta had to work with, it could 
** have been a whole lot better. 


Enemies that 
aren’t hop- 
ping or flying 
can usually 
be taken out 
with a solid 
kick. 


...then switch back to Dorothy and float to 
the upper left. Once you’ve gotten the magic 
bow, exit the mill, then reenter and repeat 
the process until your floating shoes run out 
of juice. 


Check the 
treetops for 
any magic 
energy 
bubbles that 
might be 
floating 
around. 


Since the Tin Man is made of metal, he 
can walk safely through some of the 
swamps that fry his fellow travelers. 


Replacing Dorothy’s ruby slippers with 
winged shoes allows her to float in the air.

When you’re in the biz, you hear things. 
Strange things. Disturbing things. Things that 
no man, woman, or child should ever know. 
Sometimes we hear game stuff, too. 

For instance, Sega’s Virtua FightersvM be 
coming to Genesis in late ’94 after its stint as 
an arcade game. Look for the same polygon 
technology as in Sega’s Virtua Racing. • And 
speaking of lighting games, American 
Sammy will bring Survival Artsto arcades in 
early ’94 and possibly to home platforms 
soon after. • Even though Bandai won’t be 
showing at the Winter CES, don't count it out. 
tts Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangerstoys are 
at the top of the charts and primed for SNES 
and Genesis release sometime next spring. • 
Argonaut will develop for Electro Brain the first 
third-parly Super FX game, called Citadel? 
You knew it had to happen — Sega has the 
license to Barney the Dinosaur. • FCI, not 
American Sammy, will be releasing the long- 
delayed Might and Magic III, the mouse- 
compatible RPG for Super Nintendo. If you 


can find a copy of Razorsoft’ s StormlordM 
contains the “show-all” fairies, grab it — it’s 
the hottest collectible since Tengen’s original 
Tetris. • Congratulations to ASCII, recently 


named vendor of the year by Toys ‘FT Us! 
That’s a lot of rapid-fire, fellas! 

That’s it. My brain hurts.

full advantage of Sega CD’s advanced scaling- 
and-rotation effects with full-throttle, in-your- 
face warfare! There are a number of top-secret 
missions from which to choose, including a 
raid on arms-runners, battling river pirates, 
liberating a town, and much more. 

The sound, music, and game play are very 
cutting-edge,

With all the attention the Genesis 
Aladdin is receiving, many players may 
have forgotten that Capcom’s been 
slaving away on a SNES version of the 
record-breaking cartoon. Even though 
this version has no ties to Sega's game, 
much of the action is similar because 
both games follow the movie’s plot so 
closely. 

As the young “street rat” Aladdin, 
you must save the beautiful Princess 
Jasmine and restore freedom to the 
people under Jafar’s tyrannical sandal. 
With only the loyal Abu at your side, it’s 
not going to be easy — you’re in for a 
lot of fun, though!

Lester the Unlikely is the unlikely star of 
DTMC’s holiday lineup. This young lad 
Lester doesn't quite get along with his 
fellow chums — because he's a GEEK!! 
That’s right, he’s a clumsy, worthless, 
washed-out moron! He’s gotten himself 
into a ton of trouble, and 
he expects you to get him 
out of it! 

AAARRGGGHHH!!! 

But... it might be kind 
of fun — now that we 
think about it, you get to 
set Lester against mean 
birds, creepy plants, 
cannibals..:, this just 
might prove to be 
interesting, after all! 


LESTER 
THE UNLIKELY 



SUPER 

RATTUEnUflK 2 


They’re sending you back — back to 
the heat of the desert, back to the heat 
of combat. And this time, it’s not going 
to be easy. It will be a whole lot of fun, 
though! 

Super Battletank 2 is the land half of 
Absolute’s war simulation double- 
header, dropping you back inside your 
trusty Ml A2 Abrams tank to head 
behind enemy lines once more. As with 
Turn and Bum, Super Battletank has its 
share of new features, such as full- 
motion video of enemy armament being 
blasted to bits. 

Fans of the first Battletank can 
expect the same high-quality graphics 
and sound in this game that made the 
original such a winner. Ho doubt about 
it, Absolute’s coming out with its guns 
a-blazin’i

The air half of Absolute’s war duo looks 
very impressive, with a smooth Mode 7 
cockpit view. You go up against deadly 
military hardware such as MiG fighters 
to prove your air superiority in unfriendly 
skies. 

A ton of cool features — such as full- 
motion video replays of your targets 
being obliterated and a carrier-landing 
scene in both day and night — help 
make Turn and Burn a top contender for 
flight-sim fans who have been impa- 
tiently waiting for their kind of game to 
hit Super Nintendo.

threaten your Game Gear's™
